carbon copy – now in its abbreviated form "CC" designating copies email messages (with no carbon paper involved).
carriage return (CR) – indicating an end line and return to the first column text.
cursor – a marker used to indicate where the next character will be printed.
cut and paste – taking text, a table, or an image and pasting it into a document. The term originated when such compound documents were created using manual paste up techniques: actual brushes and paste were very early on replaced by hot-wax machines equipped with cylinders that applied melted wax to developed prints "typeset" copy. This copy was then cut with knives and rulers and slid into position on layout sheets on slanting tables. After the "copy" had been correctly positioned and squared up using a T-square and set square, it was pressed down with a brayer, or roller. The whole point the exercise was to create so-called "camera-ready copy" which existed only to be photographed and then printed, usually by fset lithography.
