Brenda and experienced users reading this thread, I suppose that by now, you know how to mark the block of text you wish to copy to the clipboard. Within the Block Commands Menu, when you press C, you copy the marked block to the clipboard and automatically overwrite everything previously stored in it. You do not have to worry about pasting old stuff when you wish to paste the new text you've copied to the clipboard.
However, if you press A from within the Block Commands Menu, you are appending the marked block of text to what is already stored in the clipboard. Thus, pasting the contents of the clipboard will include all that you have previously copied to it plus the new stuff. There is no single command available that will clear out the contents of the clipboard. In version 5, you can trick the BrailleNote to do this, however. To empty the clipboard, press SPACE with F (READ with F), then F again. Press SPACE with dots 3-5-6 (CTRL with BACKSPACE), then BACKSPACE with K (CTRL with C). Exit by pressing SPACE with E (ESCAPE). This will clear out everything in the clipboard. Experienced BrailleNote users running version 5, who are reading this, will understand what the trick is all about. For earlier versions, clearing the clipboard involves opening the clipboard file which is called Keysoft (the extension is not displayed but it's .blk) which is found in the root directory (NONE folder) of the Flash Disk. The cursor is positioned at the top of the file when it is already opened, and SPACE with dots 4-5-6 (CTRL with D) is pressed to delete everything in it.
