SET Command
EDIT Command Summary
058061 Tandem Computers Incorporated 4–107
Note Page mode editing commands do not work with TTY terminals, which display one line at a
time and do not have full-screen capabilities. Therefore, while using EDIT, which is mainly a
line editing program, you might never use REPLACE BLOCK or assign a value to the
BLOCK setoption of the SET command.
CONTROL
NOCONTROL
CONTROL tells EDIT to process control characters that you type as
significant characters. NOCONTROL tells EDIT to delete control
characters that you type before it processes them. NOCONTROL is the
default. (See Example 2, following.)
Different terminals respond differently to the same control character. If
you set CONTROL, be very careful. Make sure you do not insert
nonprintable characters into an EDIT file. (See “Text Lines and
Printable Characters” in Section 6 for information on printable
characters.)
DITTO character
NODITTO
DITTO sets a character to be used as a ditto. You can use any character
for a ditto except the comma (,) or null. NODITTO disables the DITTO
feature. NODITTO is the default. (See Example 7, following.)
