The EDIT/3000 text editor lets you create and edit ASCII files.
Specifically, you may insert, delete, replace, modify and search
for characters and strings of characters. You may run EDIT/3000 in either of two modes, interactive or batch.
In an interactive session, you enter commands and text from
an interactive terminal. Messages and other output (such as prompt
characters) from EDIT/3000 are listed on the terminal.
In batch mode, commands and text records are supplied through
a batch input medium such as a jobstream or magnetic tape. Messages
and output from EDIT/3000 are listed on the standard output device, usually
a line printer.
