1) define text. (F1 at each end of defined text)
2) F2 (this establishes the defined text as a potential save-get)
3) hit a letter or number not currently being used as a save-get.
   (I use "Q") This sets up the saveget
4) either undefine text or delete it on the source file -- your
   choice
5) move to target file
6) hit alt-Q  This dumps the contents of the save-get (the
   originally defined text) into the target file at the cursor
   location.

Hope this helps . . .
