Editing Summary
Basic editing functions for the screen, message, and register files are listed below.
Aborting a Function: Use the ESC key to stop most functions. Pressing ESC with no function
started exits the editor. ALT F7 will undo most of the block level commands, if necessary.
Cursor Movement: Use the page up and page down keys to move the text up or down one page at
a time. Control page up, and control page down move to the beginning or end of the file.
Home positions the cursor in column 1, and end puts the cursor at the end of the line.
String Search: To search for a string (case sensitive), press control F3, then enter the string. Press
F3 again. The cursor will move to the first occurrence of that string. To find the next
occurrence, push F3 again.

Control F5. Then move the cursor to the end of the block, and press Control F5 again.
Finally, move the cursor to the desired position for the copy to be placed, and press
Control F5 again. To make another copy elsewhere, move the cursor and press Shift F5.
Block Move: Use the ALT F6 keys to move a block of text (similar to the block copy, above).
Copy From Disk File: To copy a file from disk into your working file, position the cursor at the
desired copy location, and use the F7 key. Enter the filename that contains the text to be
copied. Position the cursor at the beginning of the text to be copied and press F10. Then
move the cursor to the end of the text to be copied and press F10 again.
Save Part Of The File To Disk: To save part of a file to disk, place the cursor at the start of the text
to be saved, then press ALT F5. Move the cursor to the end of the text and press ALT F5
again. Enter the filename for the save. This file can be later read using the F7 key.
