- 1 BROWSE
- BROWSE is a versatile browsing program. It permits left/right up/down
- scrolling and a variety of display formats. Most commands are
- single-character. It is case-independent (maps the alphabet to the set of
- control characters).
-
- Format:
-
- BROWSE filespec [options]
- 2 /BG
- Initialize a Bitgraph terminal to permit BROWSE to present a 65-line
- display.
- 2 /COMMAND
- Read commands from a file (default is BROWSE.CMD, in your login
- directory), resume interactively on end-of-file.
- 2 /JOIN
- The JOIN option directs BROWSE to join (in the display) records which do
- not end in either line-feed or form-feed. Normally, one or more display
- lines is used for each record.
- 2 /MARKS
- The MARKS option directs BROWSE to show the file-address and
- record-number of each record. Records containing an embedded line-feed
- are split across more than one display line. If the file contains
- records split in this manner, both the line number (modulo 100) and
- record number are displayed by the MARKS option.
- 2 /OVER
- The OVER option directs BROWSE to show non-printing characters and to
- unwrap overstrikes. If /OVER=2 is specified, all nonprinting characters
- are shown as ".".
- 2 /SQUEEZE
- The SQUEEZE option directs BROWSE to discard blank records when they
- follow other blank records. This squeezes out most blank lines.
- 2 /TRIM
- The TRIM option directs BROWSE to omit trailing blanks in the J-command
- (jump to next end-of-line).
- 2 /WIDE
- If WIDE is set, BROWSE assumes that the terminal is in 132-column mode,
- even though no SET TERMINAL was done for this.
- 2 Quit
- Exit from BROWSE by typing Q.
- 2 Help
- A help-screen is displayed after typing "?" or PF2 (cf: EDT).
- 2 Scrolling
- T scroll to top of file.
- E scroll to end of file.
- F scroll forward by a full-screen (space).
- B scroll backward by a full-screen.
- U scroll up by a 1/2 screen (up-arrow).
- D scroll down by a 1/2 screen (down-arrow).
- L scroll left 1/2 screen (left-arrow).
- R scroll right 1/2 screen (right-arrow).
- I in ruler-mode, move cursor to next tab stop
- J in ruler-mode, move cursor to next end-of-line. Otherwise,
- scroll left/right to put the end of the longest line
- on-screen.
- H scroll left to Home-column (or to absolute column given by
- argument).
- {number} Set column for H, number of columns for L or R, or
- repeat-factor for other scrolling commands.
