MARKPOSITION
TEDIT Commands

How to Use
Position the cursor on a character or space in the file to which you want to
return. Then enter MARKPOSITION with a position number from 0 to 99.
If you enter only MARKPOSITION, TEDIT asks for the position number
with this response line:
Position number:
Enter GOTOPOSITION and the appropriate position number to return to a
particular location.
Following this response line, you will also see a list of your existing position
numbers if you have positions marked in your file. This list includes the
position number, line number, and the text in the line. For example:
Position Number:
1 20. \set box on
2 29. number with this response line:
* 5 313. \set box on
8 400.01 all others. For example:
Position number
Line number in the file
Text in the line
Note The asterisk (*) indicates the most recently referenced position.
You can also assign this to a function key. Thus, you don’t have to type it on
the command line every time you want to mark a position; instead, you
simply press the function key.
