BLOCK command and block characters

A block is a group of lines defined by square brackets. Every block is associated with the terminal name, and lets you MOVE, MERGE, or COPY from one terminal to another (this is especially useful with multi-session terminals).

Performed on terminal T01:

  100 THIS IS LINE 100
[ 200 THIS IS LINE 200
  300 THIS IS LINE 300
  400 THIS IS LINE 400
] 500 THIS IS LINE 500
Lines 200-500 are defined as BLOCK T01. This block is ready to use by MOVE, MERGE and COPY commands, and will exist even after the system is reset. A block is deleted when another block is defined on the same terminals.

To ascertain the current block, use the BLOCK command.
