I use the block-definition and block-move features of GEOS to delineate
specific text to be moved from Notepad to a GeoComm screen, and then to
move it.  Here's how:

Bring up BOTH the GeoComm and NotePad windows on the screen, in such a
way that the notepad is on top but you can see SOME of the GeoComm screen
below.  That is, while still in GeoComm, bring up Notepad, which would
either have your text on it or on which you can enter text at this time.

Call up vi (or whatever you use) on the UNIX machine at the far end of
the GeoComm line.  Get into "insert" mode but don't type anything else.

Click on the NP window to bring it to the front again.

Mark out the block you want to transfer from NP to GC by using the
LH trackball key and the trackball.

Put the cursor in the middle of the block, which is now black. Press the
"alt" key on your keyboard and the righthand trackball key at the same time;
you should see the cursor replaced by a small arrow with a diamond at the
far end of the shaft.  With all these keys pressed, use the trackball to move
the new-style cursor into the GC window, which is underneath the NP window.

Release the keys; the text will be typed into the GC screen.

Click on the GC screen to bring it back to the front, and use standard
editor codes to close your file (or add to it).

Is this in the manual anywhere, by the way?
