EDIT
The default device for a journal file is the DK device or a device you specify on
the command line. See customization patch 65 in the RT–11 Installation Guide
to change the default device for the journal file.
Note:
• If you create a journal file and you successfully save your editing session, the
journal file is automatically deleted when you exit the editor.
• RT–11 renames a superseded journal file by giving it a JBK file type (the
journal-file equivalent of a BAK file type). This could happen if you create
a journal file during a recovery operation and your work session is again
terminated by some error or malfunction. In this case, the second journal
file, which might have recorded new work in addition to recovering the old
work, takes on the JOU file type while the first journal file takes on the JBK
file type.
/KED
Invokes the KED keypad editor, the default editor for unmapped monitors:
.EDIT/KED PROG1.FOR
/KEX
Invokes the KEX keypad editor, the default editor for mapped monitors:
.EDIT/KEX PROG1.FOR
/OUTPUT:filespec
Specifies a new file to contain the output of your work session, leaving the input
file unchanged:
.EDIT/OUTPUT:PROG2.FOR PROG1.FOR
/[NO]QUERY
/QUERY, the default, requests for confirmation before carrying out some
commands, such as creating a new file.
/NOQUERY suppresses any queries that the editor can generate and executes
your command without waiting for confirmation. This includes queries generated
by commands in an initalization file or any queries the editor usually makes when
you create or edit a file:
.EDIT/NOQUERY MEMO20.TXT
/READONLY
Opens a file as read only. This is the same as the /INSPECT option.
/RECOVER[:jour-filespec]
Produces a text file containing the work in your editing session that was
terminated without an EXIT or QUIT command.
If you do not specify a journal file for the /RECOVER command to use, RT–11
looks for the default journal-file specification of the file you specify in your EDIT
