Remarks
This set of commands is used for shifting data left or right. The versions using parenthesis shift text liter-
ally, while the other versions attempt to intelligently shift text without disturbing line numbers or com-
ments. In all cases, the default number of columns that the text is shifted is two.
There are two forms to these commands. The single character forms (, ), <, or > specifies that the line
and the subsequent n-1 lines are to be shifted. The two-character block forms are placed on the first and
last lines of the block to be shifted.
Data is shifted only within the columns defined by the current bounds, or if bounds is turned off, but there
is a truncation column, between column 1 and the truncation column. If the shift operation results in data
moving beyond the right or left margins, it is truncated and there is no warning message.
