6.4 Basic Editing Commands CP/M 3 User's Guide
While the examples in the previous section show the memory buffer and the position
of the character pointer, the examples in this section show how the screen looks
during an editing session. Remember that the character pointer is imaginary, but you
must picture its location because ED's commands display and edit text in relation to
the character pointer.
6.5.1 Moving the Character Pointer
To move the CP to the end of a line without calculating the number of characters,
combine an L command with a C command, L-2C. This command string accounts
for the sequence at the end of the line.
Change the C command in this command string to move the CP more characters
to the left. You can use this command string if you must make a change at the end
of the line and you do not want to calculate the number of characters before the
change, as in the following example:
1-. *T
1: Emily Dickinson said,
1: *L-7CT
said,
1: *
6.5.2 Displaying Text
A T command types from the CP to the end of the line. To see the entire line, you
can combine an L command and a T command. Type Olt to move the CP from the
middle to the beginning of the line and then display the entire line. In the following
example, the CP is in the middle of the line. OL moves the CP to the beginning of
the line. T types from the CP to the end of the line, allowing you to see the entire
line.
3: *T
sense of living
3: *0LT
3: the mere sense of living
3: *
The command 0TT displays the entire line without moving the CP.
