editor.i
Insert.
Syntax
i string i<return>
Description
places the editor into 'insert mode' for entering one or more lines.
Issuing a <return> at the first position of a line while in insert mode returns control to command mode.
Example
Inserting a single line:
.i string<return>
-or-
.i<return>
nnn+string<return>
nnn+<return>
Note the space between the 'i' command and the text being inserted.
Without it, this will not work.
Inserting a 'null' line:
.i <return>
Note the space following the 'i' command. Without it, this will not
work.
Multiple lines may be inserted, if each text 'string' (new line) is
delimited with an attribute mark (<ctrl>+{shift}^). (The shift is only
required when the up-arrow keyboard character is designated as a
'shifted' character):
.i newline1^newline2^newline3<return>
