WRITE
TEDIT Commands
058059 Tandem Computers Incorporated 3–213
In the “to file:” field, supply a file name or printer name. An
example of a file name and a printer name:
MYFILE — File name
$S.#LPBAND — Printer name
What Happens
If you write text to a new file, TEDIT asks if you want to create the file.
If you write text to an existing file, TEDIT adds this written text to the end
of the existing file. TEDIT numbers this written text beginning with the next
whole number after the end of the file, with an increment of one.
Tips
You can write text from the scratchpad to another file or to a printer.
For example:
Command: WRITE SCRATCHPAD, CASH
Writes text from the scratchpad to a file named “CASH.”
Command: WRITE SCRATCHPAD, $S.#LPR
Writes text from the scratchpad to the spooler location named “#LPR.”
