It is legal to delete a carriage return. When the cursor is at the end of theline, press D for Delete. Then press __,..until the cursor moves to thebeginning of the next line. After completing the deletion by pressingCONTROL-C, you may find that the line extends beyond the end of screenwith a I at the rightmost position in the line. The text is not lost, but is notdisplayed. The I indicates that there are characters in the line extendingbeyond the 79th position.Refer to "Delete" later in this chapter for a full discussion of text deletion.Saving Your WorkFinally, when the text is the way you want it, press Q for Quit and thenpress w for Write.

If you wish to change your file for any reason, simply pressE to Edit again. The system asks you for a filename. TypeMYFIRST:PROGRAMand the editor reads in the file PROGRAM.TEXT from your disk namedMYFIRST:, ready for more editing.Leaving the EditorIt is a good idea to exit temporarily from the Editor and then use either theUpdate, Save, or Write commands about every 15 minutes or so. This way,in case of accident (if the power goes out or you mistakenly delete animportant part of your file, for example), you won't lose more than 15minutes' worth of text entry.When you edit files, you use the Write option to create a new file, the Saveoption to replace the last version of a file with the present version, and theUpdate option to save changes to the system workfile.A Walk Through the Editor 11-87
