The pdf describes using Shift/Copy to cut and paste code between programs within the App.
Is this data in a private space within the emulator, or should it be accessible from the OS clipboard (for posting here, importing to a Quickoffice document, etc )?
So far whatever I have cut in a Android might be filling my phones memory, but it can't be seen
If you enter something on the command line, then select [Shift] [View], and from the soft menu choices select [All], type [cntrl] [C], the command line info will then be available to paste elsewhere.

That suggests to me that the PC version uses a shared clipboard, if I understand you correctly. On the Android it seems different: after cutting some text in SMS, then subsequently Shift/Copying a program: Both pasting in SMS and pasting in Quick-office restore the cut SMS text. Wherever the program has been cut to, it is clearly not accessible!
I haven't tried it yet, but I suspect importing a library program is also unlikely to work using this method.
i can now confirm that Shift/Paste shows some App stuff, NOT the SMS text that can still be pasted outside the a App.
So using Shift/Copy to copy a program here or Shift/Paste to copy a program from here does not seem a useful approach.
In the 1980s typing in BASIC programs from listings used to be a popular pastime. :-(
Computers weren't as portable then but at least they used to have a QWERTY keyboard.

The system clipboard is accessed in the slideout menu from the right. I know there is a paste there, but not certain if there is also a "copy". The copy on the VIEW button is only for the application and does not tie in to the system clipboard.

Thanks for that. When I first glanced at that it didn't seem useful, but I had another go and it works. There is a Copy and a Paste.
