How to Copy a Line

You can use the commands to copy a line in edit mode and insert mode. ^Y
Yanks a copy of the current line into a temporary buffer, and ^P Puts the copy
below the current line.

1

Move the cursor to the line you want to copy.

2

Type ^Y. The current line is unchanged, and a duplicate of it is placed in a
temporary buffer.

3

Move the cursor to the line above where you want the copied line to go.

4

Type ^P. The copied line will be placed below the current line.

How to Replace One Character

The command to replace one character with another can be executed only in edit
mode. The command x or X replaces one character with another.

1

If you are not in edit mode, type ^E to get into edit mode.

2

Put the cursor on the character you want replaced.

3

Type x.
The status line will display edit: eXchange.

4

Type the character that will replace the one under the cursor.

You can cancel the x command by typing ^H (H for halt) instead of entering the
exchange character (^H functions only to terminate the command).

Advanced Editing

The commands described in this section allow you to do complex editing
functions. They are not usually necessary for editing Site Controller files.

How to Move the Cursor to a Specified Character

Use the edit-mode SEARCH command to search for a specified character on the
current line only (not in the entire document). The search starts to the right of
the cursor. You must be in edit mode to use the search command.

1

If you are not in edit mode, type ^E to get into edit mode.

Type s or S.
The status line will display edit: search.
