What Happens
If you cannot see the text item in your screen window, TEDIT moves the
text (up, right, or left) so you can see the cursor and the text item.
Tips
By entering a repeat count with FORWARD and the specified text item,
you can move the cursor forward several characters, EOLs, lines,
paragraphs, sections, sentences, or words all at once. See “Repeat
Count” in Section 2 for details about the repeat count.
Because a file’s maximum width is 239 characters, some of the text in a
text item where you are moving the cursor may extend beyond the
viewing area of the terminal.
As a text command, FORWARD can persist on the command line.
