I think expanding /COPY statements inside the editor might be more
complicated than you thing, since yoiu would also have to honor
conditional directives.
For example, this snippet is just a bit of a larger source member that
contains the code of the module.
/if not defined(CopyingPrototypes)
.... code
/endif
*
DGetCoast PR 1A
D #LOC 4S 0
*
/if defined(CopyingPrototypes)
/eof
/endif
... much more code...
but is used to copy in the prototype from the original source, with code
like this:
/define CopyingPrototypes
/copy getcoast
/undefine CopyingPrototypes
Note that I'm not necessarily recommending this, but it would have to be
accounted for, otherwise you'd get a whole lot of source you didn't want.
