EXAMPLE


To paste several columns of data together, enter:

paste who where when > www

This creates a file named npd that contains the data from the names file in one column, the places file in another, and the dates file in a third. If the names, places, and dates file look like:

who where when
Sam Detroit January 3
Dave Edgewood February 4
Sue Tampa March 19

then the www file will contain:
Sam Detroit January 3
Dave Edgewood February 4
Sue Tampa March 19
