Cut-and-pasting from the Qedit for MPE Windows Help File:

Copying and Shifting Columns

To copy columns of data, use Hold plus Set Left and Set Right to save the
column in the Hold file.  Then change the margins and use Replace $hold to
copy the lines from the Hold file into another column.  See the Replace
command for an example.

To shift columns right, use Change col "  " to insert spaces in front of a
column.  To shift columns left, use Change col/col "" to remove columns.  To
erase a column, use Set Left x, Set Right y, and Change x/y "".

Hope this helps!

(I'm still recovering from the recent "whine and cheese party".)
