6.4 Basic Editing Commands CP/M 3 User's Guide
The L (Line) Command
-The L command moves the CP the specified number of lines. After an L command,
the CP always points to the beginning of a line. The L command takes the following
forms:
nL, -nL
where n is the number of lines the CP is to be moved. A positive number moves the
CP towards the end of the buffer. A negative number moves the CP back toward the
beginning of the buffer. The command 2L moves the CP two lines forward through
the memory buffer and positions the character pointer at the beginning of the line.
"I find ecstasy in living -
the mere sense of living
is joy enough."
The command -L moves the CP to the beginning of the previous line, even if the
CP originally points to a character in the middle of the line. Use the special character
0 to move the CP to the beginning of the current line.
The n (Number) Command
The n command moves the CP and displays the destination line. The n command
takes the following forms:
n, -n
where n is the number of lines the CP is to be moved. In response to this command,
ED moves the CP forward or backward the number of lines specified, then prints
only the destination line. For example, the command -2 moves the CP back two
lines.
