<H3>Shortcuts:</H3>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
Key macro <B>c</B> implements the command <B>copy</B>.
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<H3>Usage:</H3>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<B>copy</B> [<I>option</I>] <BR><BR>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
where <I>option</I> is one of the following:
<DL>
<DT> <A HREF=direction.html><I>direction</I></A>
[<A HREF=distance.html><I>distance</I></A>]
<DD> Copy the selection relative to the original
in the direction <I>direction</I> by an
amount <I>distance</I>.
<DT> <B>to</B> <I>x y</I>
<DD> Copy the selection to the coordinate location
specified by the coordinate pair <I>x y</I>.
</DL>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<H3>Summary:</H3>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
The <B>copy</B> command creates a copy of the current selection.
Without arguments, the lower-left hand corner of the copied
selection is placed at the current cursor position (the X11
cursor, not the <B>magic</B> "cursor box"). With arguments
<I>direction</I> and <I>distance</I>, the new copy is placed
relative to the original in the indicated direction by the
indicated amount. The default distance is 1 unit (usually
lambda; see <A HREF=distance.html><I>distance</I></A> for
further explication).<P>
Note that usage <B>copy center</B> is useful to make a copy
in the current edit cell of a selection of paint and/or
subcells in a non-edit cell. With this use, the copy will
be generated directly on top of the original.
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<H3>Implementation Notes:</H3>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<B>copy</B> is implemented as a built-in <B>magic</B> command.
