Here is a tip,
The most productive way to use the editor is to use line-based selection
(most frequent in languages such as RPG and DDS)
Alt-U unselect everything
Alt-L - First time selects a single line and makes it the anchor if you
want to select a range of lines - Second time selects the range of lines
from the line that you set as anchor with the first Alt-L
Alt-C - copy the selected lines to after the cursor
Alt-M - move the lines to after the cursor
These commands will work across documents as well.

Dave:
Vern's reply jogged my memory for how I set up my environment.
I have the following code in my PROFSYS.LXU file which sets the right click
mouse menu and also sets the select mode to 'element'.
'set popupmenu.Mouse_Button1_Function.Whole_Element_Select_(ELEM) macro
elem'
'set popupmenu.Mouse_Button1_Function.Rectangle_Block_Select_(RECT) macro
rect'
'set popupmenu.Mouse_Button1_Function.Stream_Select_(STREAM) macro stream'
'set blockdefaulttype element'
The options for blockdefaulttype are:
[stream|character|element|rectangle]
For the mouse pop-ups to work with the macros, I think you have to issue
the
command EXTRAS ON.
This works great for me, maybe it will help you.
John

Subject: Re: Unwanted sticky selections
This has been this way forever - there's some reason for this, lost in
recent antiquity. ;-)
There are a couple copy modes that have an affect - rectangle, character,
and line. And various special key sequences that move, copy, delete, etc.,
the selection. This goes back to other editors, I believe. When I run into
the thing you describe, I just use Alt-U, which unselects.
It's probably related to how I cannot click on the position right after a
selection to unselect, as I can in almost every other editor I know of.
Someone at IBM kind of explained this, but it is frustrating. I mean, I
have
just selected the thing, I don't really want the selection, I should be
able
to clear the selection by clicking where I am, without having to move the
mouse. But not with RSE LPEX.
Learn to love Alt-U - it is your friend!
Oy!
