Description
A different file reference and/or item-ID may be specified prior to filing the item.
Example(s)
Files the item, with any changes made, over the original item.

Files the item, with any changes made, under a different item-ID. The original item remains unchanged.
ed bp program1 top .fi new.program1 ’new.program1’ filed. |
Any changes made to program1 in this example are saved in program2 only. No changes are saved to program1.
ed bp program1 top .fi program2 ’program2’ filed. |
This means that the item, new.program1, was already on file.
ed bp program1 top .fi new.program1 item is already on file |
It can be overwritten as:
.fio new.program1 ’new.program1’ filed. |
