The QUERY command displays the name of the current file, the current
settings of EDIT control options, and the size and amount of disk space in
use by the current file.

QUERY [ NAME ]

setoption

is one or more of the following keywords:

BLOCK DITTO INLEN OUTLEN SHIFT

CONTROL FREQ JOIN QUIET TABS

Each of these keywords is an option that you can control using the SET
command. (See the SET command, later in this section, for details.)

How to Use QUERY

If you do not specify a set option or NAME, EDIT displays the name of
the current file, lists all of the set options, and displays the size and
amount of disk space used by the current file.

EDIT displays the default values for each of the set options, unless you
have changed any. You can use the SET command to alter a set option.
(See the SET command, which is described later in this section.)
