That is part of your text editor, not part of BlueWave. 

Were you doing a Reply, or an original message? 

I know how WordStar does it, since that is the text editor I use. 
I open a second window, mark the text I want, go back to the first 
window and copy the block from the 2nd window over. 
They are DOS "windows," not to be confused with the ones Windows 
uses. 
WordStar splits the screen into a top and bottom part, with the 
MSGTEMP.TXT file on top, and the other file on the bottom. 

WordStar also has an "Insert a File: Ctrl-K R" (hold down ctrl 
while pressing K, then press R). 
This brings up a list of file names in the BlueWave directory. 
Of course one can change directories to select a file from 
another one. 

In WordStar, the function is under the Edit feature, not under 
File, and remember, you have to be working on a message, even 
if the message is blank.
