System information

The following commands illustrate the use of the F command:
Command String Effect
B#T<cr> Move to the beginning and type the entire buffer. The result
in the memory buffer is
^NOW IS THE<cr><lf>
TIME FOR<cr><lf>
ALL GOOD MEN<cr><lf>
FS T<cr> Find the end of the string S T. The result in the memory
buffer is
NOW IS T^HE<cr><lf>
FIs^Z0TT Find the next I and type to the CP; then type the remainder
of the current line ME FOR. The result in the memory
buffer is
NOW IS THE<cr><lf>
TI^ME FOR<cr><lf>
ALL GOOD MEN<cr><lf>
An abbreviated form of the insert command is also allowed, which is often used in conjunction
with the F command to make simple textual changes. The form is
Is^Z
or
Is<cr>
where s is the string to insert. If the insertion string is terminated by a CTRL-Z, the string is
inserted directly following the CP, and the CP is positioned directly after the string. The action is
the same if the command is followed by a <cr> except that a <cr><lf> is automatically inserted
into the text following the string. The following command sequences are examples of the F and I
commands:
