You can provide edit capabilities (cut, copy, and paste) to your users by installing the Vermont Views clipboard. To add the clipboard subsystem to your application, simply #include the header file vv_clip.h before vv_main.h in your main program.
The keyboard interface for performing edit actions is shown in Table 3.3.

If the mouse is enabled (PCDOS only), the mouse can be used to mark a region. To enable the mouse, #include vv_mouse.h.
