The editor commands are entered in the command line after ===>.
All keywords can be abbreviated to three characters. They can be written in upper- or lowercase characters.
Some commands can also be executed by using function keys. The current meaning of the function keys is displayed on the screen.
GET Command
1) The content of an external file is copied into the input area.
Call:
The target position is the line in the input area on which the cursor is placed, or the first line of the form if the cursor is not positioned within the input area.
The sequence number of the first line to be copied (default: 1) and the number of the lines to be copied (default: as many as possible) can be optionally specified. At most 12 K can be copied in both cases. If the specified file exceeds this value, the rest will be truncated and a message be output.
Examples:
get clist.query
get clist.form 20
get clist 100 18
2) The content of the internal PICK buffer is copied into the input area.
Call:
Target position is the line in the input area on which the cursor is placed, or the first line of the form if the cursor is not positioned within the input area.

PUT Command
1) The content of the edit form is copied into a file.
Call:
The number of the first line to be copied (default 1) and the number of the lines to be copied (default: as many as possible) can be optionally specified.
Specifying APPEND ensures that text is added at the end of an already existing file rather than overwriting the file.
Examples:
put clist.query
put clist.form 20 append
put clist 100 18 app
2) The content of the input area is copied into the internal PICK buffer.
Call:
The first line copied is the first line displayed on the screen. The user may optionally specify the number of lines to be copied (default: the lines displayed on the screen).
Examples:
put
put 3
PRINT Command
This command sends the contents of the edit form to the print log.
Call:
PRINT writes the content of the form into the currently opened print log. The command can also be issued by pressing the 
key.
CLOSE Command
This command closes the print log and sends its content to the printer.
Call:
CLOSE terminates the currently opened print log and outputs the log to the printer.
When the tool that called the editor is left, a print log not yet printed is automatically send to the printer.
If a PRINT command was issued by using the 
key, the print log is sent to the printer by immediately pressing the key a second time.
SEARCH Command
This command searches a specified character string.
Call:
Starting from the first displayed line, the first occurrence of the specified character string is searched. If it is detected, the corresponding line is highlighted on screen and marked by the cursor.
REPLACE Command (CHANGE)
REPLACE or CHANGE replaces character strings in the edit form.
Call:
or
Default values for the area is n = 1, m = 1; i.e., starting from the first displayed line, each occurrence of <char_string_old> is replaced by <char_string_new>.
n indicates the number of lines in which replacements are to be performed.
m indicates the maximum number of replacements per line.
Specifying * * replaces any occurrence of <char_string_old> up to the end of the file.
The SPLTJOIN Key
The 
key splits and rejoins single lines of text.
A line is split or joined from cursor position. If the cursor is placed behind the end of a line, the text following the cursor will be appended to the current line.
