line by repeating the IL command, by issuing a gg Q command after an IL

(Insert Block) command to insert the block.
LF WP, SS
Lets you bring a file stored on disk into the work area. When you issue the LF
(Load File) command, the computer displays the message LOAD FILE: on the
status line at the bottom of the screen. Type the name of the file you want to load.
When you load a file with the LF command, the work area is cleared before the
file is displayed. The loaded file is displayed at the top of the work area regardless
of the current location of the cursor. When you want to load the file at some other
location in the work area, use the MF (Merge File) command.
Because the LF command always clears the work area before the file is loaded
at the top of the work area, any document in the work area is lost unless you saved
it before you issued the LF command. If you want to retain the document in the
work area after a file is loaded, use the MF command to load the file.
Error Messages
If the message FILE NOT FOUND >» is displayed on the status line after you
issue an LF command, the disk in the drive does not contain the file whose name
you typed in response to LOAD FILE. Either the wrong disk is in the drive or you
misspelled the file name when you typed it. Check the disk catalog to make sure
the file exists on that disk; then reissue the command. If the file does not exist on
the disk and you are sure you have the right disk, most likely the file was never
saved. If you must switch disks, be sure to issue the ID command after doing so.
If the message NO FILE! is displayed on the status line, the disk drive is not
connected, or is not turned on, or no disk is inserted in the drive.
MF WP
Lets you bring a file stored on disk into the work area. The difference between
LF (Load File) and MF (Merge File) is that LF clears the work area before
bringing up the file, whereas MF does not affect the work area as long as you
move the cursor past the work you want to keep.
When you issue the MF command, the computer displays the message LOAD
FILE: on the status line at the bottom of the screen. Type the name of the file you
want to load.
When you load a file with the MF command, the loaded file is displayed
beginning at the current location of the cursor. Any work in the work area above
the cursor location is not affected, which means you can combine your current
document with a stored document. Any work below the cursor location is lost
