That is not responsive to the question "Then what is the EDLIN
equivalent of, e.g., calling a CLIST from within EDIT?"; EDLIN does
not support a programmable macro facility of any flavor.

>All I said was similar not a replacement for.

Correct, and it isn't similar. Similar would be if it used, e.g.,
Perl, as a macro language instead of CLIST or REXX, but it is totally
lacking in that facility.
