Before Command [B]
Repeat any combination of the previous 1000 command lines, with or without
editing.
BEFORE
[ start [ / stop ] ]
[ string ]
[ ALL | @ ]
(Default: redo previous line)
(BQ=redo without change)
The Before command allows you to modify the commands before it executes them.
If you don't need to change them, use BQ or Do.
The Before command uses Qedit-style Control characters for modifying the
commands. The default mode is to replace characters. To delete use Control-D, and
to insert use Control-B. If you prefer HP-style modify (D, R, I, and U), use the Redo
command instead of Before.
Examples
#listf @.soruce
NON-EXISTENT GROUP.
#Before
listf @.soruce
our
listf @.source
#listredo -10/
#before 5
#bef 8/10
#b listf
#b @temp
#before -2
#before -5/-2
