*CONTROL A

     Control A causes  the  VTEDIT  function  to  terminate  and
     returns the user to the normal command prompting mode.  All
     changes are of course saved.


*CONTROL B

     Control B causes the displayed page to be the last page  in
     the file (end of file).


*CONTROL C

     Control C works the same  as  ^A  with  the  abort  message
     displayed.


*CONTROL D

     Control D deletes the current line.  'Current' is the  line
     that  cursor  is presently on.  All lines after the deleted
     line will be reprinted on VT52 compatable terminals.  On  a
     VT100  or  ANSI  terminal  a  single  line delete (^D) will
     delete the current line, scroll the rest of the  screen  up
     one  line,  and then print the new bottom line.  If you are
     using a VT100 or ANSI terminal and there are less  then  24
     lines  in  the file then the sceen will be blanked from the
     current line down and reprinted as  on  a  VT52  compatable
     terminal.   Multiple lines (1-9) can be deleted at one time
     by preceding this command with an 'escape digit'  sequence,
     saving  much  time  in  display  reprinting.  From 1 to 999
     lines can be deleted at one time by preceding  the  command
     with the 'GOLD digits' sequence.


*CONTROL E

     Control E will cause the text saved by either the control W
     or  control  X commands to be executed as a command stream.
     At the end of this text, input is reset back  to  the  key-
     board.   This provides a simple macro-command type facility
     since  control  sequences  can  be  stored  and   executed.
     Additionally,  by  preceding  this command with the 'escape
     digit' you can repeat the commands 1 to 9 times, as in  ESC
     4  ^E.   By  using the 'GOLD digits' command a macro may be
     executed from 1 to 999 times, or through the whole file  by
     using the 'GOLD *' command.


*CONTROL F

     Control F will cause the cursor to move forward to the next
     word in the current line, stopping at the end of the line.


*CONTROL G

     Control G is like control E, but only causes the saved text
     to  be  inserted  into  the  current line.  It is thus much
     faster than using the control E  command.   (see  text  for
     control  X and control W).  This command can be modified by
     preceding it with the 'esc digit' sequence (digit  is  1-6)
     which  causes  the text to be retrieved from different save
     areas (there are seven, the default and 1-6).


*CONTROL H

     Typing the backspace key moves the cursor to the end of the
     current line.  If the cursor is at the end of the line, the
     cursor will move back to begining of the line.


*CONTROL K

     Typing  the  control  K  combination  will  cause  all  the
     characters  from  the  current  cursor position to the next
     'word' (see GOLD) to to be  deleted.   This  will  be  much
     faster than holding down the rubout key.


*CONTROL N

     Control N is a find and replace command.  It  will  replace
     all  occurances  of the text with new text from the current
     line down to the end of the page.


*CONTROL P

     Control P reprints the current page  on  the  screen,  also
     updating the status line at the top of a VT100 terminal.


*CONTROL R

     Control R is the opposite of control F in that  the  cursor
     will move backwards to the previous word in the line, stop-
     ping at the left margin.


*CONTROL T

     Control T causes the page to move to the top of the file at
     line one.


*CONTROL U

     Control U erases (but does not  delete)  from  the  current
     cursor position to the beginning of the line.


*CONTROL V

     Control V allows you to change  the  parameters  passed  as
     command  switches, or simply to set values, such as turning
     line numbering off (/NOLINE) or  moving  to  a  given  line
     number (/PAG:300).

     Control V parameters:

       /NOL   'nolinenumbers' Do not print line numbers out
       /LIN   'linenumbers'   Print line numbers (default)
       /PAG:n Start initial page at line 'n', not at line 1
       /PDEL  enable normal rubout key movement
       /FIL:n set fill line length to value in 'n'
       /WRAP  enable auto line wraparound for kb input
       /LMA:n set the left margin to 'n'


*CONTROL W

     Control W saves all the text in the current line  into  the
     text   save  area.   Line  terminators  are  not  included.
     Multiple save areas can be specified by using  the  'escape
     digit'  sequence  prior  to  this.   See the above text for
     control G.


*CONTROL X

     Control X loads the text save area from the keyboard.   See
     help for control E and control G.


*CONTROL Y

     Control Y can be used to fake a carriage return for storing
     commands  with  the control X command.  This is useful if a
     command sequence for say, text replacement (^N)  is  to  be
     stored  and  later executed with the control E command.  If
     typed any other time, it will simply  reprint  the  current
     line.
