Copy Result to Clipboard, Copy All Results One by One, Copy the Input Line.
The command COPY copies the recent calculation result to the Windows clipboard.
(That there is more to it will be discussed in the chapter "Results", but the above statement is true unless you explicitly use something called "Accumulation Mode".)
You can define how the result is formatted -- for this, see page "Output Format" in chapter "Numbers".
COPY copies the content of the file hy. Unlike the previous calculation result $ (see page "Chain Calculations"), COPY still works after you have closed Hypatia and opened it again.
When you do a series of calculations you may want each result to be copied to the cliboard.
COPYALL ON turns this on, COPYALL OFF turns if off (this s default), COPYALL displays the the current state.
Note that with COPYALL ON each new calculation result overwrites the previous one in the clipboard -- that is, if you want to paste them, you have to paste each result before the next calculation.
Hypatia can "accumulate" results, which lets you copy more than one result with a single COPY command -- this will be discussed later, see page "Accumulation Mode" in chapter "Results".
After a calculation, you can copy the input line to the clipbord with the command COPIN.
This can be useful when you have entered a complex calculation and want to document it or preserve it for future use, maybe in a script or as a user defined operator -- these will be discussed later.
COPIN copies the content of the file hyin (see page "Hypatia's Files" in chapter "The Basics").
