I believe this is standard Windows functionality, no?

Subject: [WDSCI-L] Block Copy/Paste in LPEX

Group,

Was talking with a developer who tried using WDSc when it first came out
and, since he had issues with it, he dropped. I told him that those issues
were probably addressed and he should try looking at it again. The first,
and biggest issue, was that he could not do block copy and paste of code. I
found that you can do block copies (Windows --> Preferences --> LPEX Editor
--> Block --> rectangle) but I could not find a way to do a block paste.
When I copied a section of a data structure, lets say the names only, I
could not paste that into another source, overlaying the names of that data
structure. Does anyone know of a way to do this?

Also, and very much a minor issue, he does not like it when using the
Backspace button to delete a character and have everything to the right of
the cursor move over. I found where I could map an action (BackSpace Left)
so that it would not delete the character and therefore not move the rest of
the line, but I'm wondering if there is a way do it with deleting the
character.

I'm trying to address his and other developers issues with moving to RDp
because we are currently on V5R4 and going to a Power7 box with V7R1 and
want everyone to be able to make an informed choice of either getting ADTS
or RDp.
