Notes
•

,.
If
you
do,
EDLIN uses
the
current
line number plus
1,
unless
the
current
line is Line
1.
The comma is required to indicate
that
you omitted
the
linel parameter.
•

the
line2 parameter,
as

ENTER
I.

you
do,

• The
last
line displayed becomes
the
current line. This
com-
mand differs from
the
List command in
that
the
Page com-
mand changes
the
current
line to
the
last
line displayed.
