Examples:
1. To adjust the width of the text in a sentence, place the cursor at the
beginning of the sentence; then enter:
Command: ALIGN SENTENCE
2. To break a line at the cursor and move text to the next line, enter:
Command: SENTENCE INSERT
What Happens
TEDIT checks the text against the list of sentence stops in the profile and
then acts on all the text from the cursor up to and including the sentence
stop.
Tips
TEDIT uses the sentence stops in the current profile.
The default sentence stops are:
. ! ?
You can use the RECONFIGURE OPTIONS command to change these
settings.
All blanks and blank lines preceding the start of the next sentence are
included when deleting, copying, or moving a sentence.
As a text item, sentence 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
sentence can extend beyond the viewing area of the terminal.
