INSERT
TEDIT Commands
058059 Tandem Computers Incorporated 3–89
As a text command, INSERT can persist on the status line.
Because a file’s maximum width is 239 characters, some of the text in a
text item you are inserting may extend beyond the viewing area of the
terminal.
TEDIT does not support the combination of INSERT (text command)
and these text items:
BALANCED-EXPRESSION
REGION

RECONFIGURE OPTIONS lets you view and change the section marker
and insert-phrase settings.
INSERT and Text Items INSERT performs the following actions on TEDIT text items.
INSERT CHARACTER
INSERT CHARACTER adds a single space at the cursor position, thus
moving the line one column to the right.
How to Use. First place the cursor to the right of the position at which you
want to insert another character. Then enter the INSERT CHARACTER
command and type the character you want to insert.
What Happens. The cursor remains on the new space, waiting for a new
character to be inserted.
