An alternative (just updated to include PREFIX OFF with the appropriate
VERIFY) to the command line approach:
'SET PF16 MACRO $TOGGLE PREFIX'
Inside a home-grown "$TOGGLE XEDIT Y2" (which contains lots of other
XEDIT toggle-able settings):
...
Prefix:
'COMMAND EXTRACT /PREFIX/LRECL/LSCREEN'
Select
When prefix.1='ON' & prefix.2='LEFT' then
Do
'COMMAND SET VERIFY 1' min(lrecl.1,lscreen.6-7)
'COMMAND SET PREFIX ON RIGHT'
End
When prefix.1='ON' & prefix.2='RIGHT' then
Do
'COMMAND SET VERIFY 1' lscreen.6-1
'COMMAND SET PREFIX OFF'
End
Otherwise
Do
'COMMAND SET VERIFY 1' min(lrecl.1,lscreen.6-7)
'COMMAND SET PREFIX ON LEFT'
End
End /* Select */
Return
...
At the press one PFkey and cycle through LEFT, RIGHT, and OFF.

Re: Impromptu XEDIT Survey
Sir Kris The Guide runs with Prefix on Right by default (of course).
Only when frequent deletes/moves I set it left.
As I mentioned here already: when I saw XEDIT for the very first time,
the demonstrating colleague entered > and < in XEDIT's command line.
And indeed I shamelessly copied his idea, so
SET SYN < SET PREFIX ON LEFT
SET SYN > SET PREFIX ON RIGHT
SET SYN ! SET PREFIX OFF
make since ages part of my SETSYN XEDIT macro, called by my various
profile macros for all XEDIT based tools.
