Summary
Cuts selected frames, text or graphics into the appropriate clipboard file, removing them from your document.
Example extract

The macro below cuts selected text to a file in Arbortext APP format. Used with a filename parameter tcut provides you with a simple way of maintaining several 'boilerplate' clipboards, which can then be accessed using the tpaste macro.

 tcut "c:/3d/test.3t"

Syntax (SVNNA)
tcut  cut:n?  filename:s?  extended:n?
cut:n
10  Delete word in front of cursor.
11  Delete word behind cursor.
filename:s

The name of a file in Arbortext APP format (e.g. .3p, .3t, or .3o) to which you want to cut your selection.

extended:n
When cutting frames only the frame attributes are cut (default).
When cutting frames the frame attributes are cut, 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.

In Page Mode, the selected frame, frames or groups of frames is cut to the frame clipboard (clip.3p). By default only the frames' attributes are cut, not their contents: if you want to copy (but not, in fact, cut) their contents as well you should use the switch listed below. In Text Mode, selected text is cut to the text clipboard (clip.3t). In Page Mode, selected graphics are cut to the graphics clipboard (clip.3o). In all cases, the tag itself is not cut - if you want to delete a tag altogether you must use ttagdel.

On Windows systems, there is only one global clipboard which applies to Page, Text and Graphic Modes. This clipboard is context sensitive, and responds to cut/copy/paste operations in a sensible way.
