Creating and Managing Files

Using the editor

The inbuilt editor is JOE (Joe's Own Editor).
To edit an existing file, enter Privileged Exec mode and enter the command:
edit <filename>
To open the editor with an empty file, enter the command:
edit
When you save the new file, you may need to specify the file system to store it on. For Flash,
use flash:/<filename>.
Using JOE To format and manipulate text in JOE, you use control-character sequences. The following
