-
-
- Characters typed on the alphanumeric keyboard (including tab) are inserted at
- the cursor, pushing the rest of the text on the line to the right. Inserting a
- RETURN splits a line; deleting a RETURN joins two lines.
-
- Additional help is available whenever DREDIX prompts you for additional
- information (for example, a file name). You may press Alt-h at any time,
- and DREDIX will give the help that you need.
- .M default
- .K Pattern
- Type a pattern to be searched for followed by a RETURN. If you want to cancel
- this command, press Alt-x after pressing the space bar.
-
- Simple patterns consist of letters, numbers and most special symbols. Upper
- and lower case letters are different. Special characters can be used to build
- more complex patterns. If you don't want a character to be special, precede
- it with \ (backslash).
-
-
- CHAR SPECIAL MEANING
-
- * Matches any string of zero or more characters.
- ? Matches any single character except end-of-line.
- \ Makes next character (*, ? or \) non-special.
- .K Replacemen
- Type text to replace text that the pattern matches, followed by a RETURN. The
- RETURN isn't part of the replacement text.
-
- If and when a match is found, you will be prompted to enter one of three
- responses:
-
- RESPONSE ACTION
-
- Alt-x Terminate the translation process. Translations that were
- already made will remain made.
-
- l (local) Perform this translation, and go on to the next match.
-
- g (global) Perform this translation and all other translations.
-
- [space bar] Skip this translation, but go on to the next match. Hitting any
- other key is equivalent to hitting the space bar.
-
- If you want to cancel this command, press Alt-x after the space bar.
- .K treply
- DREDIX is ready to make the translation you requested, but first it wants your
- approval. You must respond with one of the following:
-
- RESPONSE ACTION
-
- Alt-x Terminate the translation process. Translations that were
- already made will remain made.
-
- l (local) Perform this translation, and go on to the next match.
-
- g (global) Perform this translation and all other translations.
-
- [space bar] Skip this translation, but go on to the next match. Hitting any
- other key is equivalent to hitting the space bar.
-
- (The most likely response is pressing "l" or "g".)
- .K File
- Type a file name followed by a RETURN.
-
- If you want to cancel this command, press Alt-x after pressing the space bar.
- .K Line
- Type a line number (from 1 to the number of lines in the buffer) followed by a
- RETURN.
-
- If you omit the line number or use a line number of zero, you will go to the
- first line of the marked block.
-
- If you want to cancel this command, press Alt-x after pressing the space
- bar.
- .K Buffer num
- Type a buffer number or file name followed by a RETURN.
-
- The buffer you specify will be brought into the current window. If the buffer
- was previously associated with some other window, then the two windows will
- exchange buffers. Otherwise, the old buffer will not be associated with any
- window. In any event, the old buffer will remain undisturbed, and you can
- change back to it later.
-
- If you specify a file name and there is a buffer associated with that name,
- then that buffer's number will be used.
-
- If the file you specify isn't associated with any buffer, then an error
- message will be given.
-
- If you want to cancel this command, press Alt-x after the space bar.
- .K OK to lose
- If you just issued an edit (Alt-e) command, then the problem is that you
- haven't yet written out the changes you made to the current buffer. If you
- respond with "y" followed by a RETURN, then you will lose the changes.
-
- To get a chance to write out the changes with a write (Alt-w) command,
- respond with "n" or any character other than "y".
-
- If you just tried to exit (Alt-x), then the problem is that some buffer
- (not necessarily the one associated with the current window) hasn't been
- written out. If you're not sure which buffer it is, type "n" followed by a
- RETURN and use the Alt-p command to get a status display.
- .K memfull
- Memory to store text is full!
-
- No more text can be read in, and no more editing can be done.
-
- You should exit from DREDIX immediately and start over. If you have made
- changes that you want to save, you may issue a write command. If you haven't
- made any changes, just exit.
