Re: Getting Started with VM/CMS
|
Mentioning xedit, that was going to be my next question.? The editor I remember was one where each line was prefixed by an area into which you could type one or two letter commands and block operations were done by typing the command on both the start and end lines.? Looking at the description of xedit it seems like that is probably the editor I remember, though it could have been the editor invoked from ISPF.? Does that give any more clue as to which version I may have been using?? I looked at EDIT from the sixpack and it looks altogether more primitive.
I have also had a play with MVS 3.8J and Rob Finn's RPF.? The editor in that looks good and quite similar, at least superficially, to xedit so I immediately started to wonder if that could? be ported to CMS but I am very glad to hear of fsedit.

On the six pack 1.3 beta we have fsedit rather than xedit and fslist. Both community created. And also brexx.
Fsedit will bring back memories F7/8, f3 etc.
