Tips
When you use PARAGRAPH with INSERT, TEDIT inserts lines in your
text. The number of lines inserted is the number of paragraph lines set
in the current profile. The default setting is six lines.
When you use PARAGRAPH with the text commands, TEDIT uses the
format stop settings of the current profile to recognize the end of a
paragraph. For a definition of format stops, see “Definitions of
Reconfigure Options” in this section.
The default format stop settings are:
! # % & ' ) * + , - . / : ; < = > ? @ \[ ^ _ ` | }
You can use the RECONFIGURE OPTIONS command to view and
change these settings.
All blank lines between the cursor position and the start of the next
paragraph are included when deleting, copying, or moving a
paragraph.
As a text item, PARAGRAPH can persist on the status line. (See
“Persistent” in this section.)
Because a file’s maximum width is 239 characters, some of the text in a
PARAGRAPH can extend beyond the viewing area of the terminal.
