example, if you used Cut to remove text, Undo restores
the text you removed. Undo also reverses deletions done
by using backspace.

memory of your CLIE handheld. You can paste the text
you cut into another area of the current application or
into a different application.

enables you to cut or copy all of the text and paste it
elsewhere.
