Compatible with:
DOS Maximite CMM MM150 MM170 MM+ MMX Picromite ArmiteL4
Armite F4 ArmiteH7 Picomite CMM2
Syntax:
EDIT [file$]
Description:
Invoke the full screen editor.
For example: EDIT "filename"
Note that double quote marks must be used around the file name.
If the file's extension is not specified MMBasic will automatically add the
extension ".BAS".
If the file does not exist it will be created when you save and exit the
editor.
Non program files can be edited by specifying an extension other than
".BAS".
You can also use EDIT without a file name and in that case the last program that
was edited or RUN will be edited.
After editing the file it can be run using the RUN command without specifying a
file name or you could use the F2 function key within the editor to save and run
the program.
Systems such as the MM170 do not have a file system so EDIT is run withoiut appending a filename.
