2-5. RUNNING EDIT/3000 IN AN INTERACTIVE SESSION

To run EDIT/3000 in an interactive session, initiate the session with the MPE :HELLO command, then use the MPE :EDITOR command as shown in the following example.

Figure 2-1 Running EDIT/3000 in an Interactive Session

:HELLO MANAGER.SCR HP3000 / MPE III B.01.02. TUE, JUN 3, 1980, 1:49 PM :EDITOR HP32201A.7.08 EDIT/3000 TUE, JUN 3, 1980, 11:28 AM (C) HEWLETT-PACKARD CO. 1980 /ADD 1 THIS IS THE FIRST LINE OF THE WORK FILE 2 (A NEW FILE IN THIS EXAMPLE) 3 / / ... /LIST ALL 1 THIS IS THE FIRST LINE OF THE WORK FILE 2 (A NEW FILE IN THIS EXAMPLE) /END IF IT IS OK TO CLEAR RESPOND "YES" CLEAR? YES END OF SUBSYSTEM

Once accessed, EDIT/3000 displays a slash (/) as a prompt character and waits for a command. The ADD command causes EDIT/3000 to prompt for input by printing a line number. Input then is entered from the terminal. To terminate the ADD command, two slashes may be used as in the example, or CONTROL Y may be used (press and hold CONTROL (or equivalent), and press Y). EDIT/3000 responds by displaying..., then displays another prompt for another command. The LIST ALL command causes EDIT/3000 to copy all records in the WORK file to the OUTPUT file (the standard list device—the terminal in this case- unless specified otherwise). The END command terminates EDIT/3000 operation. Note that EDIT/3000 asks if it is OK to clear (the WORK file). If the response is YES (or Y), EDIT/3000 operation terminates and MPE/3000 prints the message END OF SUBSYSTEM. If the response is other than YES (or Y), EDIT/3000 displays a message stating that the clear is not confirmed and then displays a prompt character for another command.

If the contents of the WORK file have not been saved with a KEEP command, the WORK file contents will be lost when a CLEAR is confirmed.

See Sections III and IV for descriptions of EDIT/3000 commands.
