                                   EDLIN
       A line editor.  It can be used to create and edit ascii files.

COMMAND TYPE: External                  VERSION: 2.0 and up

USE: EDLIN [d:][path] filename [/B]

d: path filename specifies the name of the file to create or edit.  If
   the /B parameter is not used, EDLIN will stop loading the specified
   file when the first end of file marker (Ctrl-Z) is encountered.  If /B
   is used, the entire file will be loaded. EDLIN creates a file if the
   specified file is not found.

A brief summary of EDLIN commands is given below.  See the MSDOS users
reference manual for full details.

Many commands will allow you to specify line numbers.  You may use the
symbol . in place of the current line number and # in place of the
line number of the last line in the buffer.

[n]A  APPEND loads lines from the disk and places them at the end of the
      input buffer. [n] specifies the number of lines to append to
      the current file.

[n],[n],[n][,count]C   COPY copies the contents of a line or range of
      lines to another location.  The first two [n]'s specify the
      range of lines to copy.  The third [n] specifies the line to
      copy to. [count] specifies the number of times that the copy
      will be performed.

[n][,n]D   DELETE deletes a line or range of lines. The [n] parameters
      specify the first and last line to delete.

[n]   calls up a line of text for editing.

E     EXIT saves the current file and exits EDLIN.

[n]I  INSERT inserts lines of text in the current file. [n]
      specifies the line number where the insert will begin.

[n][,n]L   LIST displays a line or range of lines. [n][,n] specifies
      the first and last lines to list.

[n],[n],n M   MOVE moves a line or range of lines to a specified line.
      The first two [n]'s specify the first and last lines to
      move. The third line number specifies  where the text will be
      moved to.

[n][,n] P   PAGE allows you to scroll through a file one PAGE (23
      lines) at a time. [n][,n] specifies the first and last
      lines to display.

Q     QUIT exits EDLIN without saving the current file.

[n][,n][?] R s1^Zs2   REPLACE replaces all occurrences of a specified
      string with a second string. [n][,n] specify the range of lines
      to perform the REPLACE on.  The optional ? will request an
      O.K.?  prompt after each replace.  s1 specifies the string to
      search for and s2 is the string to replace it with. A control-Z
      separates the two strings.

[n][,n][?] Sstring   SEARCH searches for a specified string. [n][,n]
      specify the range of lines to perform the SEARCH on.  The
      optional ?  will request an O.K.?  prompt after each replace.
      string is the string to search for.

[n] Tfile   TRANSFER loads the contents of a specified file into the file
      currently being edited. [n] specifies the location where the
      file being TRANSFERred (merged) will be placed.  file is the
      file to be TRANSFERred.

[n]W   WRITE writes lines to disk from the file currently being edited.
      [n] specifies the number of lines to write to disk. This
      command is used to free up memory.
