\A\ \W\
nA Append 'n' lines from the input file to the edit buffer.
0A Append lines until edit buffer is nearly full.
-nA Read back 'n' lines from the output file.
-0A Read back lines until the edit buffer is nearly full.
nW Write 'n' lines to the disk from the beginning of the edit buffer and
delete them from the buffer.
0W Write out the edit buffer up to the current line.
-nW Write last 'n' lines in the edit buffer to the ".$R$" file.
This makes more memory space free.
-0W Write the current line and the rest of the edit buffer to the
".$R$" file.
\B\ \Z\
B Move to the beginning of the edit buffer or file, depending upon the
"global file" option (ES 10).
:B Move to the beginning of the edit buffer.
_B Move to the beginning of the file.
Z Move past the last character in the edit buffer or file, depending
upon the "global file" option.
:Z Move past the last character in the edit buffer.
_Z Move past the last character in the file.
\C\ \L\
mC Move the edit pointer by 'm' characters.
m_C Move the edit pointer, performing file buffering if necessary.
mL Move the edit pointer by 'm' lines and leave at the beginning of
that line.
m_L Move, performing file buffering if needed.
0L Move to the beginning of the current line.
m:L Suppresses the error message and command abort in case the command
attempts to go past the beginning or end of the text. However the
current iteration loop is still terminated and the ".er" error flag
is set.
\D\ \K\
mD Delete 'm' characters, starting at the edit pointer.
m_D Delete 'm' characters, performing file buffering if necessary.
p,qD Delete the block of text between file positions 'p' and 'q'. The
edit pointer is moved to the character following the deleted text.
p,q@D Delete a columnar block of text. If "YC" is not set, file positions
'p' and 'q' define the "corners" of the columnar block. If "YC" is
set, 'p' and 'q' define the outer limits and "YC" defines the columns
of the
