Library /sys$common/syshlp/edthelp.hlb CHANGE, SUBCOMMANDS, CUT  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

 The CUT command deletes a specified number of entities and saves all the
 deleted text in an alternate text buffer.  The command works exactly
 like the DELETE command except that the text is saved.

 Format: [+|-][count]CUT[+|-][count][+|-]entity[=buffer]

 If you do not specify a buffer, the buffer named PASTE is used.

 Ex: CUTSR   Cut the selected range
     CUTPAGE Cut the current page of text
