Since RISE's command set is similar to that of EDIT/3000, familiarity with the editor will be of value in
using RISE. It is not necessary, however. (See appendix A for a comparison of RISE and EDIT/3000.)
Features of Block Mode Command Menu
RISE offers you a command menu which lists the most important RISE commands so that you can select
the next command you need. The commands are grouped by their functions: File Commands, Editing
Commands, General-1 Commands, and General-2 Commands. You move the cursor to the group using a
special function key labeled with the group title. Windows are provided for the parameters of each
command. The menu relieves you of the need to memorize or look up the commands since it displays the
options for a command. The menu operates only in Block Mode.
