- |---------------------------ONE-LINER HLP-----------------------------|
- | |
- | use:USE OF THIS DOS COMMAND WILL REQUIRE REFERRING TO YOUR MANUAL.* |
- | |
- | EDLIN:Line editor to create,change and display files of ALL kinds. |
- | |
- | examples:ALL of the batch files on this disk were created using ED- |
- | LIN. Should you desire to make changes you can do it the same way! |
- | |
- | *N-O-T-E:Many DOS Manuals scare newcomers with:"Edlin is not inten- |
- | ded for novice users." BALONEY! Experiment with EDLIN until you |
- | know HOW TO USE IT! It can become one of your BEST FRIENDS! To the |
- | BATCH PROCESSING PROGRAMMER (we don't care that THEY say"batching" |
- | is NOT programming) it allows you flexibility and fun! We substan- |
- | tially PREFER EDLIN to COPY CON for creating batch processing files|
- | since most of the .BAT files we create are long AND involved. Con- |
- | making it a rule to use EDLIN if the batch file will be more than |
- | two or three lines. |
