What to Enter BREAK line [ AT { column-num ... } ]

[ { [ BOTH ] "string" } ]
line
is all the characters that have the same line number.
AT
specifies the columns or strings where you want to split the line.
column-num
is one or more numbers from 1 to 239.
BOTH
tells the EDIT program to break the specified line at the occurrence of
string, regardless of whether string is uppercase or lowercase in
the file. If you omit BOTH, the EDIT program breaks the specified line
at the first occurrence of string that matches exactly what you type.
WORD
tells the EDIT program to break the specified line at only the
occurrences of string that constitute a word. A word is defined as (1)
any character string that is preceded and followed by a space or any
character other than a number or letter or (2) a character string that
occurs at the end of a line. If you omit WORD, the EDIT program
breaks the specified line at the first occurrence of string.
