  1. File Manager was incorrectly ignoring the Copy prefix command
  when in a non update edit and the CUT command is being used.
  2. File Manager may overwrite storage.
  

Problem conclusion

• 1. File Manager has been updated in order to correctly honor the
  C or CC prefix commands in a non update edit session, when used
  with the CUT command, allowing for CUT of a single or range of
  records as intended.
  2. File Manager has been modified to correct the problem.
