Lesson 3:  Editing a Text File 

   1.  Get into the editor.  Add 20 lines of text.  Exit ADD with //.
       Keep FILEA.

   2.  LIST ALL

   4.  LIST ALL, OFFLINE

   5.  LIST 15/20, OFFLINE

   6.  DELETE 1/3 or D 1/3

   7.  You can perform a DELETE ALL to delete your current file, which
       contains your most recent revisions.  You will lose all of your
       changes.  You can then retrieve the original FILEA using T FILEA,
       which allows you to start editing the FILEA again.
