CopyBox is a C-extension function for the Microsoft editor that is
designed to copy square regions of text from one location to another,
including to another file.
This function works properly when copying to the same file, but fails
when copying to another file. The function appears to work
successfully, but the copied text does not appear in the target file.
This lack of functionality has been corrected in Version 1.02 of the
editor.
You can work around this problem by using the GetLine and PutLine
functions. A line can be read from the source file, trimmed to get the
proper portion of the line, and then written to the target file. This
procedure must be followed for each line of the box to copy.
