DICTIONARY 3000

USING EDIT DESCRIPTION COMMANDS 

Three commands allow text editing of a description:  MODIFY, CHANGE, and
UPDATE. The MODIFY command allows you to alter a description of an entity
you entered with the CREATE command; the CHANGE command allows you to
alter a description you entered with the RELATE command; the UPDATE
command allows you to alter a description you entered with the ADD
command.

You indicate that you want to edit a description by responding with a "Y"
or RETURN to the EDIT DESCRIPTION prompt.  The description is edited by
entering one of the following EDIT commands:

LIST or L        list one or more description lines

ADD or A         add description line or lines

DELETE or D      delete description line or lines

REPLACE or R     replace a description line

RENUMBER or REN  renumber description lines

HELP or H        displays available EDIT commands

EXIT or E        exit EDIT command
