Figure 2.1. Running EDIT/3000 in an Interactive Session
Once accessed, EDIT/3000 displays a slash (/) as a prompt character and
waits for a command. The ADD command causes EDIT/3000 to prompt for
input by printing a line number. Input then is entered from the
terminal. To terminate the ADD command, two slashes may be used as in
the example, or CONTROL Y may be used (press and hold CONTROL (or
equivalent), and press Y). EDIT/3000 responds by displaying..., then
displays another prompt for another command. The LIST ALL command causes
EDIT/3000 to copy all records in the WORK file to the OUTPUT file (the
standard list device--the terminal in this case- unless specified
otherwise). The END command terminates EDIT/3000 operation. Note that
EDIT/3000 asks if it is OK to clear (the WORK file). If the response is
YES (or Y), EDIT/3000 operation terminates and MPE/3000 prints the
message END OF SUBSYSTEM. If the response is other than YES (or Y),
EDIT/3000 displays a message stating that the clear is not confirmed and
then displays a prompt character for another command.
If the contents of the WORK file have not been saved with a KEEP command,
the WORK file contents will be lost when a CLEAR is confirmed.
See Sections III and IV for descriptions of EDIT/3000 commands.
