Global :
========
   This menu contains functions that may be applied on objects of all
types indistinctly. These functions can also be applied on a current
selection altogether.

   The <Globals>:<Select> menu button allows grouping of objects in
selections (the mouse right button is a permanent short-hand for
object select, see help on <Mouse Button> for details). Objects can be
selected in a toggle fashion, either by individual clicking, or by
dragging a phantom over a rectangular zone comprising the object
entirely.

CAUTION: Actually only boxes, vertices and webs can be selected, with
the understanding that ports on selected boxes, edges connecting
objects both selected and labels on selected objects are taken as part
of the selection.

   Autograph offers copy/paste with <Globals>:<Copy> and
<Globals>:<Paste> menu buttons. The copied part is pictured in a
specific buffer window that can be edited. Both copy and paste
operations require the user to click afterwards on the object or the
location to receive the function (clicking on a selected object will
copy the whole selection). In particular, you CANNOT simply paste
selected objects without copying them first.

   <Globals>:<Hilight On/Off> allows you to show some particular
graphic object on a drawing.
