Examples

   1.$ EDIT/OUTPUT=NEWFILE.TXT OLDFILE.TXT
         1       This is the first line of the file OLDFILE.TXT.
     *

   This EDIT command invokes EDT to edit the file OLDFILE.TXT.
   EDT looks for the EDTSYS logical name assignment. If EDTSYS
   is not defined, EDT processes the systemwide startup command
   file SYS$LIBRARY:EDTSYS.EDT. If this file does not exist, EDT
   looks for the EDTINI logical name assignment. If EDTINI is not
   defined, EDT looks for the file named EDTINI.EDT in your default
   directory. If none of these files exists, EDT begins your editing
   session in the default state. When the session ends, the edited
   file has the name NEWFILE.TXT.

   2.$ EDIT/RECOVER OLDFILE.TXT

   This EDIT command invokes EDT to recover from an abnormal
   exit during a previous editing session. EDT opens the file
   OLDFILE.TXT, and then processes the journal OLDFILE.JOU. Once
   the journal has been processed, the user can resume interactive
   editing.
