Giving Written Commands

WORD is just one example of a TEDIT function that is not assigned to a
function key. TEDIT has many more functions than there are function keys
on your terminal. You can use these additional functions to extend your
editing capabilities beyond the physical limit of the number of function
keys on a terminal. You use these additional functions by giving TEDIT
written commands.

So far when you wanted TEDIT to do something, you pressed a function
key or two function keys in combination. The types of actions the keys
discussed so far in this section perform are divided into two categories: text
commands and text items. A text command tells TEDIT to do something, to
take an action—such as move or delete—on a text item. A text item is the
name of the object on which the action is being taken; it tells TEDIT what
part of your text you want to manipulate, such as a word or a sentence.

Look on your template to see if you can distinguish the text commands
from the text items. The text commands you have used so far in this section
are INSERT, MOVE, and FORWARD. The text items you have used are
LINE, SENTENCE, and EOL.

Using Function Keys Along

With a Written Command

Now that you have WORD on the status line you can use the function keys
to take actions on specific words. Start by rearranging the words in the
second sentence so that it reads properly after it is connected to the first
sentence. Look at the editing in Figure 2-1 to see what you are going to do.
