Chapter 10 / EDLIN Command Reference
End Edit (E)
Ends the EDLIN program and saves the edited file.
When EDLIN saves the edited file,
it uses the drive specifica-
tion, filename, and extension you specified when you
started
EDLIN. (If you want, you can use Copy to transfer the file to
another drive.)
If you edited an existing file (rather than a newly created one),
EDLIN also saves the original file (unedited file). The original
file is given the extension
.bak (for backup).
When you enter the End
Edit command, EDLIN appends a I GIRL I
mcharacter to serve as the end of file mark.
After you enter the End Command, control
returns to MS-DOS.
The screen displays the system prompt (such as
A».
Warning: Be sure the disk contains enough free space
to save the entire file.
If it does not, EDLIN saves only
part of the file; the rest is lost. If this occurs, the por-
tion saved has the file extension of
.$$$.
