IMPORTING FILES into YOUR CURRENT FILE
You may get all or part of a file on disk into the current file in
which you are working by moving the cursor to the Command Line with
the Esc key and then issuing a GET instruction. The GET instruction
formats are:
GET filespec - Gets the entire file "filespec" and loads it into
your file below the current cursor position.
GET filespec i n - Gets part of "filespec" from line i for n lines
and loads it below the cursor.
GETP filespec i n - Gets part of "filespec" from page i for n pages
and loads it below the cursor.
If you omit "n", then the rest of the file from i on will be loaded.
Press the PgDn Key
EXAMPLE GET INSTRUCTION
Move the cursor to the asterisk at the right (*) and notice that you
are on line 23 of this file. Now press the Esc key to go to the
Command Line. On the Command Line type the command:
GET a:\pct_help\get_file.hlp 23 1
and press the Enter key. The line with the asterisk should appear to
have been duplicated since you "got" the identical line from disk.
(Of course if your help files are not on your A drive you should use
the drive designator where they are located, and if you moved them
from the subdirectory "pct_help" you should enter the subdirectory
where they now reside.)
When you use GETP, the paging determination is made as if the file had
been printed - not by a pure line count.
