PRINTING HISTORY
New editions are complete revisions of the manual. Update packages,
which are issued between editions, contain additional and replacement
pages to be merged into the manual by the customer. The dates on the
title page change only when a new edition or a new update is published.
No information is incorporated into a reprinting unless it appears as a
prior update; the edition does not change when an update is incorporated.
The software code printed alongside the data indicates the version level
of the software product at the time the manual or update was issued.
Many product updates and fixes do not require manual changes and,
conversely, manual corrections may be done without accompanying product
changes. Therefore, do not expect a one-to-one correspondence between
product updates and manual updates.

instructions explaining how to initiate interactive
sessions and batch jobs, and discussions of MPE and
EDIT/3000 special controls.
Section III - explains EDIT/3000 basic commands. Examples are
provided which demonstrate the use of each command.
Section IV - explains the use of EDIT/3000 advanced commands.
Examples are provided for all advanced commands, and
