As soon as you press page up/down the mouse will interpret that as a break,
so you can only cut and paste one page at a time, unless there is a special
trick which i doubt.
However if you want multiple pages in one click, use your editor to select
and copy.
joe for example;
joe old_file new_file
will open 2 files in a splitscreen.
the cursor will be in the top session which holds the file old,
^KB (begin select)
page down a few times, place thwe cursor under the last line of selected
text,
^KK (end select)
^KP (change screen to new_file)
^KC (copy)
You can just open new_file in joe and use ^KW to write the text to a file.
If that is all a little hazy ^H for help.
