Built-In Editor
When you are composing an outbound message with the
builtin built-in editor, it prompts you for text
lines with an empty line. Enter a period (.) to end the message and continue with the Send Menu.
Built-in editor commands are lines that begin with an escape character, defined by the escape string vari-
able. The default escape character is tilde (
˜).
Note: Some remote login programs use tilde as their default escape character when it is the first character
on a line. (You can tell, because the tilde does not print.) Usually, the tilde is transmitted when you enter
a second character that is not recognized by the program or when you enter a second tilde. See the pro-
gram documentation for further information.
The built-in editor commands are:
~! [command] Execute the shell command, if one is given (as in ˜!ls), or start an interactive
shell, using the shell defined by the
shell string variable.
~< command Execute the shell command and place the output of the command into the editor
buffer. For example, "˜< who" inserts the output of the who
command in your
message.
~? Print a brief help menu.
~˜ Start a line with a single tilde (˜) character.
~b Prompt for changes to the Blind-Carbon-Copy (
Bcc:) list.
~c Prompt for changes to the Carbon-Copy (Cc:) list.
~e Invoke the editor defined for the easyeditor string variable on the message,
if possible.
~f [options] Add the specified list of messages or the current message. This uses readmail
which means that all readmail options are available (see readmail(1)).
~h Prompt for changes to all the available headers (To:, Cc:, Bcc:, and Sub-
ject:
).
~m [options] Same as ˜f, but each line is prefixed with the current prefix. See the prefix
string variable.
~o Prompt for the name of an editor to use on the message.
~p Print out the message as typed in so far.
