z/OS V1R9.0 UNIX System Services Command ... - Christian Grothoff

unm[ap][!] lhs
Deletes the lhs map. If the flag ! is used, this applies to the insert mode
maps; otherwise it applies to the command mode maps.
[1,$] v /pat/ commands
This is a synonym for the global command with the ! flag; that is, a global
for all nonmatching lines. You can use any nonalphabetic character to
delimit pat instead of the slash (/).
ve[rsion]
Displays the current version information for vi or ex.
[.] vi[sual] [type] [count] [flags]
Enters vi mode. If no type is specified, the current line is at the top of the
screen. If type is caret (^), the bottom line of the screen is one window
before the current line. If type is a minus sign, (–), the current line is at the
bottom of the screen. If type is a period (.), the current line is in the middle
of the screen.
You can use the undo command to undo all the changes that occurred
during the vi command.
[1,$] w[rite][!] [>>] [file]
Writes the given range of lines to file. If two right angle brackets (>>) are
included, the lines are appended to the current contents of the file. If the
current file name is not set, a file must be given. This becomes the current
file name. Otherwise, file becomes the alternate filename if it is specified. If
the file begins with an exclamation mark (!), then it is taken as a system
command. vi writes the given range to the command through a pipe.
If a file is given, it must not already exist. The variable readonly must not
be set. If a file is not given, the file must be edited; that is, it must be the
same file as that read in. All these conditions can be overridden by using
the flag !.
[1,$] wn[!] [>>] [file]
Similar to write, except that it begins editing the next file in the file list
immediately afterwards (if the write is successful).
[1,$] wq[!] [>>] [file]
Similar to write, except that it exits the editor immediately afterwards (if the
write is successful).
x[it] If you have modified the current file since the last write, performs a write
command using the specified range and file name and then terminates.
[.,.] y[ank] [buffer] [count]
Copies the given line range to the specified buffer (a letter from a through
z). If a buffer is not specified, the unnamed buffer is used. Buffers are not
destroyed by an edit command, so yank and put can be used to move text
between files.
Because the edit command does not destroy buffers, you can use that
command in conjunction with put and yank to move text between files.
[.+1]z [type] [count] [flags]
Displays count lines. If no count is specified, ex uses the current value of
the scroll variable. The lines are displayed with the given line located
according to the type. If type is a plus sign (+), the editor displays the given
line and a screenful after that. If type is a period (.), the editor displays
screenful with the given line in the middle. If type is a minus sign (-), the
editor displays a screenful with the given line at the end. If type is a caret
