IntroductionThe Pascal Editor helps you prepare programs and text. It lets youo Insert and delete text;o Move part of a document from one position in the textfile to another;o Merge all or part of one file into another textfile;o Move the cursor to a specified point in the file;o Find or replace strings of text throughout the textfile;o Adjust the margins and indentation of paragraphs of text thoughout thefile.The first part of this chapter describes some of the general characteristics ofthe Editor, such as which disk files you need to use the Editor, how to readthe Editor command line and other prompts, how the cursor moves, andbriefly how to use the Editor in its different modes. The remainder of thechapter describes each of the Editor's commands in detail.Disk files NeededWhen you use the Editor, the disk file SYSTEM.EDITOR must be availableto the system. SYSTEM.EDITOR is normally provided on disk APPLEl: andonAPPLEO:.Files that are being edited may be on any disk in any drive.The Apple Pascal system will retrieve the workfile from the system disk,and store the workfile onto the system disk, no matter which disk drive thesystem disk is in. However, because other files on the system disk must befound in the startup drive, it is recommended that you keep your systemdisk in the startup drive while editing.Editing With Two 5%ulnch IOisk DrivesOn two-drive systems, "non-startup drive" means volume #5 (the "startupdrive" is volume #4). On systems with three or more drives, "non-startupdrive" means any drive except volume #4. Systems with three or moredrives can leave APPLEl: and APPLE2: in volumes #4 and #5.II-74Chapter 4: The Editor
