There's a different set of shortcuts for this kind of thing. After you've selected your rectangle, position your cursor where you want to copy it, then press Alt-C, not Ctrl-C, etc. These are like the CODE/400 things, if you ever got those to work. And turn off auto-formatting in CL!

BTW, this investigation showed me that there is a way to change between uppercase and lowercase - right-click and look under "Selected" for those options, too. Been wondering whether that was possible!

Good luck

I can't get it to work.  I can't copy a rectangular selection from one
place and then paste it into an arbitrary rectangular space somewhere
else.  Edit-Selected-Overlay sure doesn't do it.  In fact, I'm not sure
WHAT that does.

I CAN copy a rectangle.  But when I paste it, it inserts it where the
cursor is, newlines and all, so that the rectangle ends up flush left
and the line the cursor was on is split in two, one half before the
rectangle and one half after.  This is NOT what I'm going after.
