In design mode, Cut copies the currently selected control(s) from the work dialog to the clipboard, and deletes the original from the dialog. Useful for moving controls between dialogs. Also see Adding and manipulating controls.

Copy

Like Cut, but leaves the original control(s) intact. Useful for creating copies of an existing control. Also see Adding and manipulating controls.

Paste

Copies the control(s) on the clipboard into the current work dialog. The original ID Name and ID Value is automatically "incremented" by PowerBASIC Forms in order to create a unique control ID.
