Re: Block Copy/Paste in LPEX

I've got used to using the keyboard more for some things - once a region 
is selected, right-click, then type L - E will put the cursor in the 
command line, where I enter the fill characters.

Similarly, to see all the instances only of a selected element, I 
right-click anywhere - then type L - F and voila!

Thanks again
Vern
