Editor Commands

The following Editor commands are presented:

^ Command	Toggles the function of the wildcard search character used in the l and r commands.
? Command	Displays the current file name and item-ID of the item currently being edited and the line number where the line pointer is positioned.
a Command	Repeats the last l command issued in the line Editor.
as Command	Toggles the assembly format on or off. It is used exclusively on D3 assembler source listings to format the instructions and operands into a more readable format.
b Command	Positions the line pointer to the end (bottom, or last line) of the current item.
c Command	Displays a column position guide to indicate the actual positions of characters on the screen for use with the l and r commands.
de Command	Deletes one or more lines from the current item, starting at the current line number position.
ex Command	Exits the current item without saving changes. Control returns to TCL, or to the next item in the list if more than one item was requested.
exk Command	Exits the current item without saving changes and returns control directly to TCL, abandoning any active list, if present.
f Command	Files the dual Editor buffers so that additional changes may be made to an item, or to review previous changes.
fd Command	Deletes the current item.
fdk Command	Deletes the current item and abandons an active list, if present.
fi Command	Files the current item, saving all changes made.
fs Command	Saves a copy of the current item and remains in the Editor within the current item. It is essentially the same as the fi command, but does not exit the item.
fso Command	Saves the current item and overwrites the item when a duplicate item-ID already exists on file.
g Command	Positions the line pointer to a specific line.
i Command	Places the Editor into insert mode to enter one or more lines.
l Command	Lists a specified number of lines that contain a search string and increments the line pointer to the last line listed.
m Command	Used exclusively on D3 assembler source listings to expand included macros into a more readable format.
me Command	Merges one or more lines from the current item, another item in the current file, or another item in a different file.
n Command	Positions the line pointer down a specified number of lines from the current position.
o Command	Sets object assembly mode in the Editor.
p Command	Either defines or executes a prestored command; p by itself assumes p0 (zero).
pd Command	Displays any prestored command.
r Command	Replaces the current line, replaces a string of characters within the current line, or replaces a string of characters within a specific range of lines.
s Command	Toggles the display of Editor line numbers, in normal Editor mode, and suppresses the display of object code when the assembly formatter is on.
s? Command	Displays the size of the current item in bytes.
sl Command	Sets the number of lines, rather than attributes, to display by the default p (prestored) command, p0 (zero).
t Command	Positions the line pointer to the beginning (top) of the item, without filing the data.
tb Command	Defines tab stops for use by subsequent uses of the TAB key.
u Command	Moves the line pointer up a specific number of lines from the current position.
x Command	Cancels the effect of the last i (insert), de (delete), me (merge), or r (replace) command.
xf Command	Cancels the effect of all commands executed since the last f command was issued.
z Command	Defines zone display limits.
