Notes
•
You
may omit
the
linel parameter,
as
in
,line2P I
ENTER
,.
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.
•
You
may omit
the
line2 parameter,
as
in
,linelP I
ENTER
I.
If
you
do,
EDLIN lists 23 lines.
• 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.
