| Description |
retrieves a previously saved list and enters the Update processor (UP).
This command uses UP to edit a list created by the "save-list" verb. Each element in the list is treated as a line by UP. All UP functions are valid. If no file.reference is indicated, the list is retrieved from "pointer-file". If no itemlist* is indicated, the default name, "%user.name", is used. |
| Options | z Suppresses "top" and "eoi" messages. |

| Example |
el invoices.past.due
el dict customers cust.list el pointer-file %jmr NEW ITEM 01 In this form, a "default" list name is used, derived from the current user-id. |
| Warnings | In R83 3.1, this verb was introduced, and is a synonym for the "edit-list" verb, which uses the standard line editor syntax to modify and process saved lists. |
