If I can't do this with DS9 then why does it have the box etc., 
features.  What good is such a command if you can't cut and paste?

OK, if not DS9, then how about IRAF?  Could someone tell me step by step 
how to do this?  Assume that I have a bunch of files on a CD, then how do I 
read one and cut a piece out of the image and write it back to a file?
