EDIT
The EDIT command allows you to invoke an external editor to edit the contents of the buffer, or to edit the contents of an operating system file:
ED[IT] [filename]where:
- ED[IT]
Is the command, which may be abbreviated to ED. The EDIT command with no parameters allows you to edit the current contents of the buffer.
- filename
Specifies an external file to edit instead of the buffer. The filename may include a path and an extension.
EDIT, and all the other editing commands, are described in Chapter 2.
