The Language-Sensitive Editor (LSE) is a multilanguage advanced text editor designed specifically for software development. LSE is invoked with command line of the following form: LSEDIT [/qualifier] [file-spec] /qualifier specifies LSEDIT command line qualifiers file-spec specifies the file to be edited. LSE reads the file into a buffer. The name of the buffer is taken from the file name and type specified. The file name and type must be a valid VMS file specification. The file type determines the language for the buffer. For example, .FOR specifies the FORTRAN language and .PAS specifies PASCAL. If you omit the file type, or specify a file type unknown to VMS, no language is assumed. To simplify editing, LSE binds commonly used commands to certain keys, and provides access to both EDT and EVE keypads. By default, LSE is initiated in EDT-keypad mode. You can get help on keys by pressing the HELP key, marked HELP or PF2. You can enter a single command by typing the GOLD-COMMAND (PF1-KP7) key sequence or pressing DO to get an "LSE Command>" prompt, entering the command, and terminating the command with a carriage return. Multiple commands may be entered by pressing CTRL/Z to get the "LSE>" prompt, entering the command, and terminating the command with a carriage return. The editor will continue to prompt for commands using the "LSE>" prompt until the user presses CTRL/Z again. New users may type "HELP Features" for tutorial information.
