Duplicating Lines; Copying Lines - IBM Professional Series User Manual

RECover n
You substitute the number of lines you want to recover for
"n."
The recovered line(s) will appear immediately above the
current line. You can put the lines back where they belong
by using the m prefix command, discussed later.
Duplicating Lines
If you want to repeat a line in a file, you can use the
II
(double quotation mark) prefix command. If you want the
line duplicated more than one time, type a number before or
after the ".
Copying Lines
If you want to copy lines from one part of a file to another,
you can use the c prefix command.
To copy one line, type a letter c in the prefix area of the line
you want to copy. Then you have to tell the editor where
you want it to be copied. You do this by typing either an f
(for "following") or a p (for "preceding") in the prefix area
of another line. When you press ENTER, a copy of the line
where you typed the "c" is placed:
• Either after the line containing an "f"
Or before a line containing a "p."
For example:
====c This is the line I want copied.
====f want it to be copied after this line.
When the ENTER key is pressed, file will look like this:
