EDIT VS Function Key Summary
Page Mode Editing
058061 Tandem Computers Incorporated C–23
LINENO [1] <-- displays the current line number. For example, if the
cursor were on line number 141 of the EDIT file when you pressed the
F13 (MENU) function key, this line would be:
LINENO [141] <-
When you exit this menu, EDIT VS returns you to the current line
number.
If you do not want to return to the current line number, type a new line
number to the right of the arrow. Then, when you exit the menu, the
line you specified is at the top of the screen, unless that line was on the
screen before you entered the menu. If that line was on the screen, the
screen remains unchanged.
[W] [B]" string " <-- is the prompt for you to enter a string. If you enter
a string, you can then search for the string in your EDIT file by exiting
the menu and pressing the
F12 (FIND STRING) function key. (See F12
for details.)
You must enclose the string within a pair of quotes (”), single
apostrophes (’), or forward slants (/). You can precede the string with a
W, which is equivalent to the WORD keyword in the string-range
parameter, or with a B, which is equivalent to the BOTH keyword in a
string-range parameter. (Turn to the string-range tab for an explanation
of these keywords.) For example, if you enter:
[W][B]" string" <- W "matter"
EDIT searches the EDIT file for the word matter . If you enter the
string:
[W][B]" string" <- B /oh dear/
