The LIST Command:
Listing Lines in
Your File
To list the lines in your file, use the LIST command. The LIST command
allows you to:
List a single line
List a range of lines
List lines containing a specific character string
List all lines in a file
Suppose that your file contains these lines:
1 Jack be nimble
1.1 Jack be quick
1.2 Jack jump over the candlestick.
2 Jack and Jill
2.1 Went up a hill
3 To fetch a pail of water.
4 Jack fell down
5 And broke his crown
6 And Jill came tumbling after.
You can list a single line of your file by typing:
*LIST 1
1 Jack be nimble
*
If you then press RETURN without typing a command at the prompt (*),
EDIT lists the next line of text in your file. For example:
*LIST 1
1 Jack be nimble
* RETURN
1.1 Jack be quick
* RETURN
1.2 Jack jump over the candlestick
*
