Text files are source_file and dest_file.
Execute the following commands

vi source_file
<shift>: vi dest_file (hold shift key and the colon key)

use <CTRL>6 (hold control key and press 6)

to switch between the files.

Now, make sure you are in source_file and position the cursor on the data you want to yank. Then yank to a buffer the letters or words you want to transfer.

i.e. If you want to yank the next 5 words into a cut buffer, type y5w. Then type <CTRL>6 to go dest_file. Position the cursor where you want the text pasted, and press p to put after cursor, or P to put before cursor.

If you will be going back and forth between files, you will have to write changes to dest_file each time you leave it.

exmouse

exmouse(3alleg4)						  Allegro manual						  exmouse(3alleg4)

NAME

       exmouse - Getting input from the mouse. Allegro game programming library.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <allegro.h>

       Example exmouse

DESCRIPTION

       This  program  demonstrates  how  to  get mouse input. The first part of the test retrieves the raw mouse input data and displays it on the
       screen without using any mouse cursor. When you press a key the standard arrow-like mouse cursor appears.  You are not restricted  to  this
       shape,  and a second key press modifies the cursor to be several concentric colored circles. They are not joined together, so you can still
       see bits of what's behind when you move the cursor over the printed text message.
