Hi there. I've never been a big user of the CLI, mostly because it hasn't been necessary. However, I recently got a copy of DBW_Render, a really snazzy raytracing shareware program (donation en route), and it involves creating a .data file to create a picture. What I'd like to eventually find is a copy of the AmigaDOS User's Manual, or a similar reference publication of Stuff I Should Know. Any suggestions? At the moment, however, I would really appreciate someone taking the time to send me a brief summary of subcommands of the CLI "edit" command, i.e. how to add lines, delete them, edit them, renumber tham, save changes, etc. Anyone providing this will recieve my heartfelt gratitude and public acknowledgement as a Really Swell Person. Thanks in retreat. ************************************************************ "In Korea, door handles do not come off." -Chiun, Master Of Sinanju SPONSORED BY: Brian "The Bass Guy" Schoner 433 Joline Hall BCSCHONE@PUCC.PRINCETON.EDU

You might just want to get DME from Matt Dillon or from some archive somewhere. Really a wonderful editor. If you insist on using the AmigaDOS editor, however, you should use the Ed editor rather than Edit. It's a simple screen editor (as opposed to Edit, which is a line editor - yuck). You should be able to get the AmigaDOS manual at Waldenbooks or B Dalton. Bryan Ford (SLMYQ@USU.BITNET)

Not sure if you REALLY mean "edit" which is a line editor and is used by nobody except Andy Finkel in some of his very bizarre scripts, or if you mean "ed" the full-screen editor which can is generally used for editing scripts, program source code, etc. - even BASIC programs (if you save them out in ASCII format with save "filename",a). Anyway - in case you mean "ed", here's something very old that I still keep a copy of under my monitor...
