Notation Conventions
You must enter commands in a certain form so that EDIT understands
them. This form is called syntax—it explains how to enter a command.
These conventions have been established for representing syntax to save
space and to avoid having to repeat a lot of information. Uppercase and
lowercase letters may have specific meanings, and certain other symbols are
also used to explain how to enter the command. Spaces and commas
separate the parts of the commands (command name, options, and
keywords).
Each command’s particular syntax is presented in Section 4, “EDIT
Command Summary.” The syntax for the different range parameters is
presented in Section 5, “Range Summary.”
