ADD BLOCK
Command
The ADD BLOCK command captures the text on the terminal screen and
adds it to an EDIT file, allowing you to mimic page mode editing at your
terminal.
What to Enter ADD BLOCK [ line-range [ BY incr ] ]
line-range
references one or more contiguous lines in an EDIT file. Turn to “Line-
Range Parameter” in Section 5 for a full explanation of this range.
If you omit a range parameter, EDIT begins adding text where the last
ADD BLOCK command terminated. If there was no previous ADD
BLOCK command, EDIT begins adding text at the end of the EDIT file.
BY
specifies the numbering increment of the line numbers assigned to the
text that you add to the EDIT file. If you omit BY, EDIT chooses the
increment (either 1, .1, .01, or .001).
incr
is a number from .001 through 10.
