 [range] xl [-a] [-r] [-l] [-f <pathname> | <name>] "Literal Text To Buffer"
 "text copy literal"
 
 DESCRIPTION:
     'xl' copies a literal string passed with the command either an internal
     paste  buffer  accessible from X selections, an internal  paste  buffer
     that  is  local to the edit session, a named paste buffer in the  paste
     buffer directory, or a  text file.  It has the same functionality as xc
     except  that  the data to be placed in the paste buffer is part of  the
     command rather than part of a ce window.
     
     The  result  of  using the xl command is equivalent to having  the  data
     "Literal  Text To Buffer" in a file, highlighting the text and using the
     xc command.  The help for the xc command is also useful in understanding
     the xl command.

     This command is often used with xdmc from a UNIX command prompt.
     For example:
     xdmc "xl '  `/bin/pwd`'"
     will  put the current working directory from the shell into the default
     paste  buffer.  The grave quotes (`) cause /bin/pwd to be executed  and
     stdout from the command to be inserted in place of the command.
     

 PARAMETERS
     -l      Use a "local only" paste buffer. This works like a normal paste
             buffer  except that the X server does not get involved and  the
             contents  of  the  paste buffer are not saved in  a  file  upon
             termination. This improves performance and disables the copying
             of data between different windows.
     
     -r      Add  a newline at the end of the text string when it is put  in
             the  paste buffer.  This causes the command to behave as an "xc
             -r" would behave.

     -a      Append mode.  Append the text being copied to the paste buffer.

     -f <path>
             Copy  the  affected  region into a file on the  machine  Ce  is
             executing  on.  Text copied to a file will probably not be able
             to  be  pasted  into a Ce window executing on  another  machine
             unless  that  machine has access to the file which  was  pasted
             into.

     <name>
             Copy to the named X paste buffer.

     "Literal Text To Buffer"
             This is the text to put in the paste buffer.
