TEDIT and TACL
Interface Commands
You can use these four TEDIT commands to pass information to and from
TACL and TEDIT: MACRO, PROMPT, STATUSMESSAGE, and TACL. The
MACRO and TACL commands are given at the TEDIT prompt. You usually
give the PROMPT and STATUSMESSAGE commands to TEDIT from the
TACL code. In the following paragraphs, these commands are described
and listed in alphabetical order.
MACRO The MACRO command sends the four lines of protocol to the TACL code.
You enter this command at the TEDIT prompt.
