The following commands are added to the standard EDT repetoire by the file SYST:[SYSLOGIN]EDTINI.EDT, which is routinely provided to each new user. Most of them are not original with me, but I do think that they may prove useful to many others beside myself. The commands listed below are given in the "Command Guide for EDT," but are listed here because they are used less frequently, and so are more likely to have been forgotten when the need arises. This information is in the file SYST:[SYSLOGIN]EDTINI.TXT, should you care to print a copy. The commands are listed in groups according to function: Set-up Changes Pointer Moves Editing Conveniences Multi-Buffer Operations R. D. Piccard March 26, 1985 Set-up Changes: GOLD + CTRL/D Swaps delimiters between WP and Programming, i.e., changes the definition of a "WORD" for keypad commands. Pointer Moves: CTRL/B -SEN Move the pointer back one sentence CTRL/F +SEN Move the pointer forward one sentence CTRL/N -PAR Move the pointer back one paragraph CTRL/P +PAR Move the pointer forward one paragraph CTRL/V Mark position for restoration CTRL/R Restore to marked position GOLD + P Move to 58 th line (bottom) of present page; fails if the pointer is at the top of the page. GOLD + Move back 22 lines GOLD + Move forward 22 lines GOLD + Move 8 characters in presently active direction Editing Conveniences: GOLD + D Inserts the character string "_:" which has the effect of a forward half linefeed (moves the print DOWN half a line) when printing on the NEC Spinwriter the .MEM file that RUNOFF produces from your .RNO file with this character string. See GOLD + U, below. GOLD + F Re-FILL the entire present paragraph; pointer must be in the interior of the paragraph. GOLD + H Examine this help information GOLD + R INCLUDE the file STANDARD.RNO. Used when editing a RUNOFF file in order to easily set the defaults. GOLD + U Inserts the character string "_;" which has the effect of a reverse half linefeed (moves the print UP half a line) when printing on the NEC Spinwriter. See GOLD + D, above. GOLD + V for overstrikes, inserts the character = ^H; the two characters on either side of the ^H will be printed on top of each other when you get hardcopy. In RUNOFF, use the % character after once giving the command .flags overstrike GOLD + Swap characters on either side of pointer GOLD + Q QUIT, no SAVE GOLD + CTRL/Z EXIT, no SAVE Multi-Buffer Operations: (You will be requested to name the buffer.) + I Read a File into a Buffer + X Copy selected string into a Buffer, leaving it in place also. The SELECT action is cancelled. The copied material will include extra at each end to complete the line. Position marking with CTRL/V before using this command is likely to prove useful, since return to the original buffer is at the beginning, not where you were. CTRL/G PASTE from a Buffer + CTRL/G Delete the SELECTED string and paste from a buffer + B Edit a Buffer + M Return to editing the MAIN Buffer, for example, NOW + O Write a Buffer to a File + S Show Buffer information + Clear a Buffer
