Using the Built-in Editor

The AR400 Series router has a built-in full-screen text editor for editing script
files stored on the router file subsystem. Using the text editor you can run
script files manually, or set script files to run automatically at router restart, or
on trigger events. Figure 12 on page 67 shows a example screen shot of the text
editor. To start the editor with a new file or an existing file, enter the command:

EDIT [filename]

Figure 12: The editor screen layout.

The editor uses VT100 command sequences and should only be used with a
VT100-compatible terminal, terminal emulation program or Telnet client.

To display editor Help at any time while in the editor press [Ctrl/K,H]; that is,
hold down the Ctrl key and press in turn the K key then the H key.

For more information about the inbuilt editor, see the Operation chapter in the
AR400 Series Router Software Reference.
