A(djust:

Adjusts the indentation of the line that the cursor is on. Use the arrow keys to move. Moving up (down) adjust line above (below) by sane amount of adjustment on the line you were on. Repeat-factors are valid.

C(opy:

Copies what was last framed in insert/delete/zap into the file at the position of the cursor.

D(elete:

Treats the starting position of the cursor as the anchor. Use any moving commands to move the cursor. <etx> deletes everything between the cursor and the anchor.

F(ind:

Operates in L)iteral or T)oken mode. Finds the <targ> string. Repeat-factors are valid, direction is applied. “S” = use same string as before.

I(nsert:

Inserts text. Can use <backspace> and <del> to reject part of your insertion.

J(ump:

Jumps to the beginning, end or previously set marker.

M(argin:

Adjusts anything between two blank lines to the margins which have been set. Command characters protect text from being margined. Invalidates the copy buffer.

P(age:

Moves the cursor one page in direction. Repeat-factors are valid, direction is applied.

Q(uit:

Leaves the editor. You may U)pdate, E)xit, W)rite, or R)eturn.

R(eplace:

Operates in L(iteral or T(oken mode. Replaces the <targ> string with the <subs> string. V(erify option asks you to verify before it replaces. “S” option uses the Sane string as before. Repeat-factors replace the target several times. Direction is valid.

S(et:

Sets M(arkers by assigning a string name to them. Sets E(nvironment for A(uto-indent, F(illing, margins, T(oken, and C(ommand characters.

V(erify:

Redisplays the screen with the cursor centered.

eX(change:

Exchanges the current text for the text typed while in this mode. Each line must be done separately. <back-space> causes the original character to re-appear.

Z)ap:

Treats the starting position of the last thing found/ replaced/ inserted as an anchor and deletes everything between the anchor and the current cursor position.
