SYNTAX : ;W REG
RESULTING ARGUMENT: None except when requested register is '?'
FUNCTION : Make the register immediately following the command the
current register. All commands up to a further ;w-
command operate with the named register as current
buffer.
In interactive mode, the window title shows the name of
the active register (whenever there is one), and the
text area reflects the content of the register.
NOTE 1 : If the specified register is numeric, its content is
lost. The register switch will occur as if the register
contained an empty buffer.
NOTE 2 : The special register associated with the current search
string (_) cannot be used.
NOTE 3 : To return to the original main buffer, use this command
with the name of the current register. If that name is
not known in the current context (e.g. in a macro), this
command also recognizes the name SPACE as name for the
original main buffer.
NOTE 4 : From within a register (say A), the main buffer is
accessable as if it were register A itself.
7.0:
NOTE 5 : To access the register as an array, a subscript can be
used.
