The next button is to show and quit return mark. It is defenitely useful to have it.

The next button is for writing on the clipboard. The clipboardis, for example, useful when you are not sure to write something in the document, you can wrtie it on it, which save on clipboard for sometime and you can decide if you want to use it or not. People who have used LaTeX in UNIX may have heard sevral times "comment out", this is the same in Nisuswriter.You can save up to 10 points on clipboard. Advance them in writing long document. Without these mesures, you easily lose where you are.
