2 Transfer Data Structures
The user understands two ways to cut and paste information: The first is to use the Edit menu and the Cut , Copy , and Paste functions. The second is to use the mouse by selecting and dragging text, graphics, or objects with the quick-copy and quick-move functions. For a full description of how these two operations are accomplished, see the user's guide provided in the Geoworks retail products.
Both these functions use similar data structures; a single flag determines whether the operation is a quick-transfer or a normal Clipboard operation. However, the procedures and rules of usage have significant differences.
You should be familiar with the features and uses of both the Clipboard and the quick-transfer mechanism. If you are, you can skip this section; however, if you are not familiar with the features and rules governing the Edit menu and the quick-transfer operations, you most likely will want to read this section.
