IIRC, no. > or: 'in the third line, add a newline and place > there the following text string..'. Block functions? Not that either, no. Edlin is not something new, its part of older MS-DOSes (probably 5.0 and below), short for "line editor". In all newer versions, edlin was replaced with edit.com, which do has all functions you mentioned. The one that came with MS-DOS 7.x (win 9x) is superb, BTW ;-) Or perhaps we talking about a completely different edlin here? --Eko http://www.survpc.net/ - Older PC and DOS Internet http://survpc.virtualave.net/ (noframe) To unsubscribe from SURVPC send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe SURVPC in the body of the message.
