The FIX Command:
Modifying Text Lines
As you add text, you may also add typing errors. You can correct mistyped
text with or without using a command, depending on when you notice the
error.
When you notice a mistyped word of text before you press RETURN , you
can press BACKSPACE to back up to the mistake. Then, retype the line from
there. For example:
*ADD 1
1 When sall we
1 When s
1 When shall we three meet again
2
You press BACKSPACE
to move backward to
the mistake.
You notice a mistake
on this line.
Finish typing the line.
When you mistype a word in a line of text and you do not notice the
mistake until after you press
RETURN , you must use a command (usually
FIX) to correct the mistake.
