Qzmodify will not allow you to create a line longer than a maximum specified by the
calling program, nor can you accidentally "lose" characters off the right edge when
using Insert mode ... Qzmodify beeps when you try to do something illegal. To edit
Roman-8 characters, use Set Editinput Extend ON.
Editing Commands
Qzmodify has an extensive set of commands, all of which are invoked via control
characters. In this documentation, the symbol ^ means that the following character is
a control character (e.g., ^G is control-G). Control characters may be entered as
lowercase or uppercase letters (i.e: ^g and ^G are identical).
HP-UX reacts to certain control characters which might conflict with the Qzmodify
codes. For example, control-D sends an end-of-file signal to HP-UX but is also the
delete character in Qzmodify. You should use the HP-UX stty program to change
the default end-of-file signal. Please see the section "Control Characters and stty" on
page 46 for more details.

Description
^A append
Go to end-of-line. Moves the cursor to just after the last character
on the line. If the line is already at the maximum length, the cursor
is placed at the last character.
^B before
Turn on Insert mode. Turns off Overwrite mode. If you enter a
character while in Insert mode, it will be put Before the character
the cursor is on, and the rest of the line will move one to the right.
^^ before
Control up-arrow...synonym of ^B. Use ^^ instead of ^B if you are
on a system console!
^C case
Change case of current character. If the current character is a
lowercase letter, it will be changed to an uppercase letter and vice
versa.
^D delete
Delete character. Pressing ^D will cause the character under the
cursor to be deleted, and the rest of the line to be moved one space
to the left.
^L^D delete end
If the cursor is just past the last character in the line, (i.e., you just
did a ^L or ^A), then the ^D will delete the last character of the
line.
^E erase
Erase to end of line. This will erase all of the text from the cursor to
the end of the line.
^F<c> find
Find next occurrence of character <c>. The cursor will be moved to
the next occurrence of the character <c> to the right of the cursor.
If <c> is not found, you will hear a beep.
^F<n><c>
Find nth occurrence of <c> where 1<=n<=8.
^G goof
Undo all current modifications. Restores the line of text to its
original form. Note: ^V, ^K, ^T^D, and ^T^V cannot be undone.
^H backspace
Move back one character (nondestructive).
^I tab
Skip ahead to the next tab stop.
^J justify
Deletes blanks from the cursor to the first nonblank (does not delete
that character).
^K add
Requests Qedit to add a line after the current line. The current line
will then be redisplayed for editing and you will get to edit the new
line.
^L lengthen

on a Type Ahead Engine (TAE).
^M return
