Canon Cat Reference Manual page 34

After the
screen goes dark,
a small Canon Cat
sign
remains on-screen,
moving from
place to
place
so
that
you
can
tell
the
power
is
still
on, and the
Cat is only napping.
Movement
makes the sign easier
to
see
and
prevents screen
burn.
Copy Up
Copy up
allows you
to
move text
from
one disk
to
another.
The procedure for copying
up
text from
Disk A
to
Disk
B
is
as
follows:
-Record
the
text on
Disk A.
Now the text is clean
(the
cursor is happy).
-
Highlight
the
text you
want
to move to
the other
disk.
-Take
out
Disk
A
and insert
Disk
B in
the disk
drive.
-
Use
[DISK]
to play
back
Disk B.
When you
use
[DISK]
to
play
back
Disk B,
a
copy
of
the
highlighted text from Disk A
is
automatically inserted
into
the
new text from Disk B.
The
text
is
inserted
at the
cursor,
that is. where the cursor
was
when the text
on
Disk
B
was
last
recorded. This allows you
to
prearrange
where the
new
text
will
appear
by recording Disk B
with
the
cursor on the
spot
you
want to insert the copy up
text.
The copy up text
remains highlighted
so
you
can
easily move
it
to a new
location.
Use
[DISK]
again
to
record the
combined text
on
Disk
B.
Note
that there is no special
"copy up" command. Copying
up
isjust
a
natural
part
ofusing
[DISK].
If
you highlight
the entire
text, [DISK]
will
copy
up
the
entire text,
even
if it
is
dirty.
This
means
you
can
type
a
new
text
with
no disk
in
the
drive, then copy
it
all up to
a
disk
that
already has
text
on
it.
If
there
is not
enough room
in
the
new
text to hold
the
copied-up text, you
get
a
beep. The text remains on-screen
and the disk in the drive
does
not
play back.
[EXPLAIN]
tells
you
that there is not enough
room to copy
up and advises
you to
-try
copying up
less,
or
-
erase
some text from
Disk
B, the receiving disk.
Unless
you're in
the habit
of copying up very large blocks
of
textorkeeping yourdisks
veryfull
you
will
seldomhave
a
problem with room.
It
is
possible
to
copy
up
calculations
as
a
part
ofthe
copied-
up
text.
However,
there
will
be
a
conflict
between
variable
names
in
the
new text
if
two
different
expressions have the
same name
(seeVariables,page
77,
formore information).
The Cat
will inform
you of the name
conflict
the next
time
you
use
[CALC].
