Edlin provides default values if you do not type either option. \_J
If you do not type the first line option, as in the following com
mand, the display will start 11 lines before the current line and
end with the specified line: i)

The beginning comma is needed to show that you omitted the
first line option.

Note If the specified line is more than 11 lines before the
current line, the display will be the same as if you omitted both
options. \_J

the current line, the current line, and the 11 lines after the ( j
