	I have been working with Microsoft's Multiplan on the Commodore 64
and have run into a snag.  Does anyone know how I can "include" a file on 
disk into a file resident within the computer.  I don't want to create
an Xternal link to the file, I actually want to copy all the information
into a specified location within my current file.

I've tried COPY, XTERNAL, MOVE, etc. and none of them seem to do what I want.
For example, on the left is an example of a 2x2 sheet which I have loaded
through TRANSFER LOAD.  On the right is a file that, if loaded, would
occupy the same row/column locations.  What I want to do is to copy 
the contents of the disk file (on the right) into a location of my choice 
in the sheet in the computer (say, for example, starting at row 3, column 2). 

               COMPUTER FILE                           DISK FILE
       COLUMN 1   COLUMN 2   COLUMN 3  |         COLUMN 1   COLUMN 2
ROW 1   100.00     200.00              |   ROW 1   700.00     800.00
ROW 2   300.00     400.00              |   ROW 2   900.00    1000.00
ROW 3                                  |   ROW 3
ROW 4                                  |   ROW 4

                               NEW FILE
                    COLUMN 1   COLUMN 2   COLUMN 3
             ROW 1   100.00     200.00
             ROW 2   300.00     400.00
             ROW 3              700.00     800.00
             ROW 4              900.00    1000.00
