    . Print
    . Cut Selected Item
    . Copy Selected Item to Clipboard
    . Paste Contents of Clipboard

    . Search
    . Search and Replace
    . Fonts
    . Font (Size/Bold/Italic/Underline)
    . Align (Left, Center, Right)
    . Bullets
To manage external RTF files use the new RBBEDIT command:

Syntax: RBBEDIT rtffile.RTF

You may use RBBEDIT rtffile.RTF command at the R> prompt, in
a command file or in an EEP to manage external RTF files.
