The 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. When editing large items, periodically issue an fs command to ensure an update to the file. A different file reference and/or item-ID may be specified prior to saving the item.
See fso Command for writing over pre-existing items.
Syntax
fs{(file.reference}{item-ID} |
Parameter(s)

file.reference |

Example(s)
Writes a copy of the item back to the file from which it was originally retrieved.
ed bp main.program top .fs |
