Purpose: EDIT invokes the external editor if one is specified in @EDITOR. Otherwise, the line image editor (SLIM) is invoked on each specified line or range of lines. Each line is displayed at the terminal before its line image is available for editing.
E/DIT [\\line1 [:line2]\\]
|
line1 |
is a line to be edited or the first line of a range of lines to be edited. |
|
line2 |
is the last line of a range to be edited. |
--EDIT 290
00290 25 TO @LINES
The cursor is positioned at the first character of the line, e.g., “2” of 25. Use SLIM operations to edit the line, terminating with a carriage return.
NOTES: Up to ten lines or line ranges can be specified, separated by commas.
After entering an EDIT, ACCENT R displays the indicated line and enters SLIM for line image editing. The line image editing characters were described earlier in this chapter under SLIM.
