and the file named COLE contains the lines:
21 Old King Cole was a merry old soul,
22 And a merry old soul was he;
23 He called for his pipe, and he called for his bowl,
24 And he called for his fiddlers three.
25 Every fiddler, he had a fine fiddle,
26 And a very fine fiddle had he;
27 Oh, there's none so rare as can compare
28 With King Cole and his fiddlers three.
then the following command attempts to copy the entire contents of COLE
into MARKET, starting at line number 10.994:
*GET COLE TO 10.994
^ -- ERROR --
AN INCREMENT SMALLER THAN .001 WOULD BE NEEDED
ATTEMPTING TO ADD LINE 11
NEXT LINE TO BE ADDED FROM SOURCE FILE IS 27
*
There are not enough line numbers available in MARKET to copy all of
COLE. So, EDIT copies as many lines from COLE as it can into MARKET
and then displays a message telling you where it stopped copying. The
message:
ATTEMPTING TO ADD LINE 11
NEXT LINE TO BE ADDED FROM SOURCE FILE IS 27
