Thanks Emmitt - I get it- you're right, RBEDIT can't do that!

QEDIT (which, by the way, I use every day) will manipulate blocks just like RBEDIT and RCODE, but additionally can copy a rectangle out of the screen.

For instance, in the text below, the letters in CAPS could be copied by QEDIT:

                this is a test
                this IS A test
                this IS A test
                this is a test

If you then pasted the result you would see:

        IS A
        IS A


By "block" I thought he meant block copy , block delete, block edit, or
speed jump marking of spots. What is a block in q edit?
