USING THE ISPF AND XEDIT EMULATIONS
Though primary commands may be typed at the command line explicitly, for convenience you can simply
type the last part of the command name in the command line and it will automatically be mapped to the
ISPF-specific command. For example, to execute the ISPF reset command, simply type reset at the
command line instead of ispf_reset.
NOTE Some standard built-in commands conflict with ISPF emulation commands. These conflicts
include copy, cut, delete, find, hex, move, and paste. To access the built-in command, you may
be able to use a menu option or consult the Help for that command for specific instructions.
