Example:
GTM>DO ^%GED Edit ^b Beginning screen: ^b(1)="melons" ^b(2)="oranges" ^b(3)="bananas" <End of File> Screen with a change to ^b(1), elimination of ^b(3), and two new entries ^b(4) and ^b(5): ^b(1)="apples" ^b(2)="oranges" ^b(4)=pears ^b(5)="grapes" <End of File> %GED responds: Invalid syntax: b(4)=pears return to continue: After screen: ^b(1)="apples" ^b(2)="oranges" ^b(4)="pears" ^b(5)="grapes" <End of File> %GED responds: node: ^b selected: 3 changed: 1 added: 2 killed: 1 Edit ^ <RETURN> GTM>
This example shows the use of the full-screen editor to change, add, and delete (kill) nodes. When you exit from the editor, %GED checks the syntax and reports any problems. By pressing <RETURN>, return to the full-screen editor to fix the error. At the end of the session, %GED reports how many nodes were selected, changed, killed, and added.
