Command syntax. The rules that tell you the particular way to type
commands so that TEDIT or TFORM understands them.
Create (a file). To set up a specific location on a disk where the document
you write in a file is stored.
Cursor. A movable line or box (sometimes blinking) on the screen that
indicates where the next character is to be inserted, replaced, or deleted.
Data block. The customized information to be inserted in a TFORM form
letter. Data blocks are stored in the list file and are separated by a block
separator.
Date format. The printed appearance of the date, as defined by the TFORM
TODAY command. The most commonly used format, TODAY SHORT
USA, prints the date as numerals separated by slashes (5/21/87).
Default. A preset condition or setting that is in effect until you specify
something explicitly.
Default functions. The functions, such as commands or identification of text
items, initially assigned to the TEDIT function keys by the TEDIT contact.
The keys perform these assigned actions unless you change them using the
RECONFIGURE FUNCTION-KEYS command.
Default profile. The profile assignments for options and function keys that
TEDIT uses when you create a document unless you create and specifically
request the use of another profile. The default profile is set up by your
TEDIT contact.
Default volume and subvolume. The location where your files are stored unless
you specify another location explicitly.
Disk. The device in which the files you create are stored.
Document. The text you write and save in a file.
Edit file. A file that contains your text. Files you create with TEDIT are edit
files. You enter formatting commands into an edit file.
