Arguments: window
Sets the global variable
*copied-character-format* to a character-format
instance reflecting the character format of the character just before
the current text cursor position in
window. window must be an
instance of a text-edit-pane (which is a
superclass of rich-edit-pane). It cannot be a
text-edit-window or a rich-edit control
(apply window to
a rich-edit
control to get a value suitable as an argument to this function).
The Edit | Copy Format command on the rich edit menubar calls this function. (Note: that command does not appear on the Allegro CL Edit menu.)
