The command:
*GET TART NUM F/2 6 TO 21
replies with the message:
LAST NEW LINE IS 21.3 <- 38
CURRENT FILE IS $WORK.POEMS.SIXPENCE
This tells you that EDIT added the first, second, and sixth line (in
ordinal position) of TART to SIXPENCE and that line 38 of TART (the
last line added from TART) is now line 21.3 of SIXPENCE. Remember,
though, that when EDIT locates lines of a specified ordinal-range
parameter, it ignores the literal line numbering.
