Refresh Line 

Purpose 

Redisplays the current line.

Default Syntax 

ESC *

Description 

This command redisplays a line in which part or all of the text appears
to have been altered for possibly one of the following reasons:

   *   An MPE message has appeared on the screen.

   *   You have accidentally pressed the Clear Line terminal key.

   *   Data communications interference has produced garbled characters
       on the screen

Whenever any of these conditions occur, HP EDIT preserves the original
text even though it appears that the contents of the line have been
written over.

This command functions similarly to the Refresh Screen command, except
that the Refresh Line command redisplays a single line, rather than the
entire screen.

Procedure 

To redisplay a line: 

   1.  Move the cursor anywhere on the line to be redisplayed.

   2.  Press ESC, then press the * key.  HP EDIT redisplays the line in
       its previous state before visible alteration.
