If you do not type the first line option, as in the following com
mand, the display will start 11 lines before the current line and
end with the specified line: i)

The beginning comma is needed to show that you omitted the
first line option.
U
Note If the specified line is more than 11 lines before the
current line, the display will be the same as if you omitted both
options. \_J

omit the second option, as in the following command: ^^^

edlin displays more than 11 lines after the current line, up to a
