Status Line

A message status line with which TEDIT often temporarily replaces the
edit status line. There are four types of messages:
a. Command messages are simply the name of text command or text
item that you have just entered. For example, you would see:
1) insert
after entering INSERT.
b. Status messages tell you that TEDIT is doing something or was
unable to do something (like searching for a search-text that doesn’t
exist). For example:
1) Searching "date"
means that SEARCH is looking for “date,” and:
1) SEARCH didn't find the text
means your file doesn’t contain the text you were searching for.
