edit-list

Syntax	edit-list {file.reference} {itemlist*} {(options)}
Category	TCL
Type	Verb
Description	retrieves a previously saved list and enters the line editor (same as "ed" or "edit"). Each element in the list is treated as a line by the line editor; all of the line editor edit commands are valid. If no file.reference is given, the list is retrieved from "pointer-file". If itemlist* is not specified, the default list item will be updated: %user, where user is the user-id. See the "el" command for using the Update processor to update saved lists.
Options	a Activates the assembly formatter. Equivalent to the "as" editor command. d Allows editing a "d-pointer". m Activates the macro expansion function. Equivalent to the "m" editor command. p Directs the output to the system printer, via the spooler. s Suppresses the display of line numbers, in normal edit mode, or suppresses object code display when the assembly formatter is "on". Equivalent to the "s" editor command. z Suppresses the "top" and eoi" messages.
