Command/Editor, Releases: AP and R83

Exits item.

Description

exits the current item without saving changes; control returns to TCL, or to the next item in the list, if more than one item was requested. See also the 'exk' command.

If the item has changed since the editor was invoked and the 'ex' command is issued, the message 'item changed, exit it (y/n=cr) ?' appears. A response of 'y' exits the item without saving changes. To save the item, see the 'fi' or 'fs' commands.
