<CTRL-W)	Move the cursor right to the next word.
<CTRL-Q)	Move the cursor left to the previous word.
]	Set Leftcol one position to the left.
[	Set Leftcol one position to the right.
}	Set Leftcol three positions to the left.
{	Set Leftcol three positions to the right.
+w	If a white space, skip to the right to the next nonwhite
	character.
+N	If a nonwhite character, skip to the right to the next white
	space.
+B	If a blank, skip to the right to the next nonblank.
-w	If a white space, skip to the left to the next nonwhite
	character.
-N	If a nonwhite character, skip to the left to the next white
	space.
-B	If a blank, skip to the left to the next nonblank.
DT	Insert the date in mmm dd, yyyy format (e.g., July 24, 1984)
DM	Insert the date in dd-mmm-yyyyformat (e.g., 24-Jul-1984)
	Dates are as returned by the UDI DQ$GET$TIME
	procedure.
<CTRL-B)	Insert the contents of the Block buffer into the text at the
	cursor position.
PG	Page the text. Header is always written as "Heading.~'
PP	Page the text. Header is stored in the S9 S-variable.
	PG and PP are meant for paging text. These macros attempt
	to put headers on empty lines, if possible. They use Tag C
	and Tag D for internal computations.
CNTR	Center the text in the current line.
DETAB	Convert all tabs from the current position to the end of the
	file to blanks.
ENTAB	Convert all blanks from the current position to the end of
	the file to tabs. This macro works very slowly.
SHL	Display the current line numbcrr.
SFL	Display the total number of lines in the file.
SFC	Display the total number of characters in the file.

AEDIT-86 specifications

The Intel AEDIT-86, also known as the Intel 8086, is a notable microprocessor that played a critical role in shaping the computing landscape. Released in 1978, it was Intel's first 16-bit microprocessor, setting the stage for the x86 architecture that continues to influence modern computing.

One of the main features of the AEDIT-86 is its 16-bit architecture, which allows it to process data in larger chunks compared to its 8-bit predecessors. This capability not only improves performance but also increases the amount of memory that can be addressed, allowing for a maximum of 1 MB of RAM. This was a significant advancement at the time, enabling more complex software and operating systems to run efficiently.

The AEDIT-86 is built on a 3-micron process technology, which was innovative for its time and contributed to its performance capabilities. The microprocessor operates at a clock speed of up to 5 MHz, which allowed it to execute more instructions per second than previous generations of processors. This speed, combined with its wide data bus (16 bits), enables the processor to handle a larger volume of information more quickly.

Intel incorporated several key technologies in the AEDIT-86, including segmentation. This feature divides the memory into different segments, making it easier for programs to access data and improving memory management. The AEDIT-86 also supports a minimum of four 64 KB segments, which enhances the organization and access of programs and data in memory.

Another significant aspect of the AEDIT-86 is its compatibility with the existing 8080 and 8085 instruction sets, which facilitated easier migration for developers and helped the processor gain traction in the market. This backward compatibility allowed existing software to be ported to the new platform with minimal modification.

Furthermore, the Intel AEDIT-86 introduced a powerful instruction set that includes both integer and string manipulation commands, paving the way for more versatile programming. The instruction set architecture (ISA) of the AEDIT-86 supports both high-level programming languages and low-level assembly language, offering flexibility for various applications.

In summary, the Intel AEDIT-86 is a groundbreaking microprocessor known for its 16-bit architecture, advanced segmentation technology, and compatibility with earlier instruction sets. Its introduction marked the beginning of the x86 architecture, which has influenced countless processors and computing systems that followed. The AEDIT-86's features and technologies were instrumental in the evolution of personal computing, laying the groundwork for future innovations in the industry.
