>what exactly is a rectangular cut?
>Is it a block of text consisting of serveral lines?

Essentially, yes. Actually it's a set of line segments. You can think of it as 
a set of rows from a column. You start the cut by marking the top-left corner 
of the block and end the cut by marking the bottom-right corner of the block.

Yes, exactly.
