Ranges are used in TEDIT with certain commands. Ranges allow you to
specify certain areas (defined by lines and columns) of text so TEDIT can
take action on these areas. For example, you can specify a range of lines
beginning at the first line in your file to the bottom line of the window and
a range of columns such as 10 through 50. Figure 2-3 shows how TEDIT
looks at these ranges in your file.
