Command Reference
·List (L)
[linel][,line2jL
Displays all lines
within
the
range line1 and line2.
Notes
•
You
can omit linel:
, line2L
I
ENTER
I
If
you
do,
the
display begins before the current line and ends
with
line2. The comma is required to indicate
that
you omit-
ted linel.
•
You
can
omit line2:
linel
L I
ENTER
I
If
you
do,
EDLIN displays
23
lines,
starting
with
linel.
•
If
you omit both parameters, EDLIN displays
23
lines-the
11
lines immediately preceding
the
current line,
the
current line,
and
the
11
lines immediately following the current line.
If
fewer
than
11 lines precede
the
current line, EDLIN displays
more lines
that
follow
the
current line to make a total of
23
lines.
•
If
some of your lines
are
longer
than
the
screen width (require
more
than
1 display line) they will still be counted as a single
line by EDLIN.
In
other words,
if
the
List command requires
more text
than
the
screen can display,
the
excess will scroll
off
the
top.
