Greg,

EVE will handle multiple files in the same editing session and permit you
to cut and paste text between them.  Eve supports one or two windows on
screen at once.  Here's an overview of the procedure.  Since I don't know
your knowledge level I'm making very few assumptions.

1.  Split the screen into two windows if desired.  Use the EVE command TWO
    WINDOWS.

2.  Copy each file you want open into its own EVE buffer.  Use the EVE command
    GET FILE.  The buffer will be named for the file.  The current window will
    display the new buffer.

3.  Select which buffer(s) you want in the window(s).  To display a different
    buffer in the current window, use the EVE command BUFFER.

4.  Navigate between windows performing editing operations such as cut and
    paste.  To go to the other window, use the EVE command OTHER WINDOW.

The commands can be abbreviated as long as they remain unique.  To invoke an
EVE command, press [Do], type the command, press [Return].  If the command
requires additional information and you did not provide it after the command,
you will be prompted to enter it by EVE.  If you use them frequently, define
keys which invoke the commands for you, using the EVE commands LEARN and SAVE
EXTENDED TPU.

For additional information, use the EVE command HELP or consult the
documentation.

I hope you find this helpful.

Ed
