Cut B
The Cut command is a request to remove an object and put it on the Clipboard.
If the Cut command includes a direct parameter, it removes the object specified
in the direct parameter. If the command does not include a direct parameter, it
removes the object in the current selection.
The Cut command has the same result as choosing the Cut menu item in the
Scriptable Text Editor: the object that was cut replaces any objects that were
previously on the Clipboard.
