Syntax (6.82a)
tcopy  filename:s?  extended:o?
Ø:

In Page Mode, the selected frame, frames, or group of frames is copied to the frame clipboard ( clip.3p). By default only the frames' attributes are copied, not their contents: if you want to copy their contents as well you should use the extended switch listed below. In Text Mode, selected text is copied to the text clipboard (clip.3t). In Graphics Mode, selected graphics are copied to the graphics clipboard (clip.3o). Items are not removed from the document after they have been copied.
filename:s

The name of a file in 3B2 format (e.g. .3p, .3t, or .3o) to which you want to copy your selection.
extended:o
0  When copying frames only the frame attributes are copied (default).
1  When copying frames the frame attributes and any dependant contents are copied. All tags directly attached to the frame are recursively searched to find any other tags that will be required to reproduce the frame and its contents in another document.
