Edit Command
The Edit command loads the highlighted file and the
MS-DOS Editor. You can install and use almost any other
word processing or editing program by entering its
pathname using the Setup function. You must first install
your word processor or editor on the hard disk according to
the instructions furnished with your word processing
program.
You also can use the Microsoft Windows Write word
processing application available under the Windows
program furnished with your new computer.
Excl (Exclude) Command
The Exclude command works with the Include command.
Both commands are used for multiple file operations where
you want to execute one command (such as Copy or Delete)
on a number of files in one operation. The Exclude
command permits you to exclude selected filenames from
tagged files using the Include or Tag commands.
If you have not tagged any files using the Tag or the Include
commands, the Exclude command takes no action. If you
have tagged files—indicated by the >> symbol appearing in
the left margin by the filename—you can exclude them from
the listing by pressing X at the main menu. LFM then
prompts you at the bottom of the screen
Exclude: [A]ttribute, [E]arlier Date, [L]ater Date, [S]elect all,
[I]gnore:
This prompt permits you to exclude files from the tagged
files according to the parameters in the above prompt.
If you want to exclude (untag) all included names, press
ENTER or S.
