In the context of whether or not to use an ADDRESS statement.

If you're issuing a very small number of commands or you have to
interleave environments a lot. If you're issuing a lot of consecutive
ISREDIT commands then it's quicker to type ADDRESS ISREDIT once and
then just type the commands without leading ISREDIT.

That's a bizarre question, after having claimed that you hadn't said
that the use of (or not) of ADDRESS had something to do with the use
(or not) of quotes. You can use address whether or not you use quotes.
You can use quotes whther or not you use ADDRESS.
