Adding Text to a New EDIT File
1. To create and add text to a new EDIT file named POEMS, type:
12> EDIT POEMS
TEXT EDITOR - T9601B30 - (08MAR87)
$WORK.FICTION.POEMS DOES NOT EXIST. SHALL I CREATE IT? y
CURRENT FILE IS $WORK.FICTION.POEMS
*ADD

2 The cat and the fiddle
3 The cow jumped
4 Over the moon.
5 //
* Starts the
EDIT program
Begins adding text
at line number 1
and numbers
subsequent lines by
an increment of 1
2. If you invoke the EDIT program without an EDIT file name and issue
an ADD command, the EDIT program prompts you to name the file. If
the file name you type names a new EDIT file, the EDIT program
creates an EDIT file with that name, begins adding new text to that file
starting at line 1, and numbers each new line by an increment of 1. If
the file name you type names an existing EDIT file, EDIT asks you if
you want to purge it:
13 EDIT
