In the editor using the right mouse click you will find 2 copy possibilities.

The Copy is copying as is including the + character and it becomes a multi line 
command. Remove all + characters and it becomes a single line command.

 

The second one is easier: Copy Command. Using this feature Rbase will transfer 
the multi line command into a single line command automatically.

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Pasting a Multi-line command at the R>

 

My first post to this group. Newbie to Rbase X 32bit from the cozy DOS world, 
but I have a question about the most basic functionality (or lack).

How does one cut & paste a multi-line command to the R> prompt to test the 
command (or execute it one-off)? I can paste the command, but every command 
I've tried throws an error. And then command history corrupts the formatting of 
the  pasted command on recall. 

I first found this copying some help screen examples. But even using something 
a simple as

Show      +
Variables

results in a spurious error (sometimes Invalid parameter, usually syntax error).

And this type of mess when recalled from history: Show      +Variables

I've seen that syntax executed in a command file works fine, but when the 
identical syntax is pasted, it does not work with the errors noted above.

Testing at the R> is an essential function. But does it work? How?

Thanks for any help.
