EDITOR USER COMMANDS 03-Jul-91
NAME
editor - Edit a named file with a full-srceen editor
SYNOPSIS
editor filename
DESCRIPTION
Editor is a tool for editing files. It is not only used by
user, but by mail and news programs also. This makes it
recommended that you learn to fully use this editor. The
editor uses vt100-type emulation codes and should also work
vith ansi-terminals. Editor allows several cursor movement
codes. You can use either vt100, vt102 or amiga cursor
codes. The editor won't allow control characters to be
typed into a file.
The editor is always in insert mode. So, everything you
type appears in the current cursor position and the rest of
the line (if any) moves accordingly. There is no so called
overtype-mode in this editor. On other hand, there is an
automatic wrap to prevent too long lines.
COMMANDS
CR,LF Insert line, Adds a new line in the cursor position
and moves the rest of the line to a new line.

a new line, tries to move the data to the previous

NOTES
The insert file -command don't append to the actual cursor
position, but to the next line. Anyway, you can manually
correct this odd behaviour.
