EDACCT/COMMANDS                                                   83/08/17


  EDACCT COMMANDS

  The  following interactive editing commands may be entered from standard input
  if you do not include -A, -D, -C, or -L on the EDACCT command line.    In  all
  cases,  periods may be used instead of blanks to separate person, project, and
  organization identifiers.

  a [pers [proj [org [homedir [password]]]]]
            Add a new account.  The account is added AFTER the  current  account
            (last  one  listed)  unless you have positioned to the top (t).  You
            will be prompted for any fields omitted.  Press <RETURN>  to  assign
            the  default, if appropriate. A space between two quotes may be used
            to specify a blank password.

  d [pers [proj [org]]]
            Delete one or more accounts.  If  no  fields  are  given,  only  the
            current  entry (last one listed) is deleted.  % may be specified for
            wildcard match, in which case all matching entries  (from  the  top)
            are deleted.  If proj and/or org are omitted, % is assumed for them.
            Verification  of each deletion is requested.  The last deleted entry
            is saved and may be moved to a different place using 'i'.

  i         Insert the last deleted entry at the  current  location  (after  the
            current entry or at the top).

  t         Move to the top of the file, before the first entry.

  b         Move to the bottom of the file, at the last entry.

  [-]n      Move up (-) or down "n" entries. Default is 1.

  c [pers [proj [org]]]
            Change one or more entries.  If no arguments are specified, only the
            current  entry  is  changed.    %  specifies wildcard match. If proj
            and/or org are omitted, % is assumed for them.    If  arguments  are
            given,  the search begins at the top of the file.  Wildcarded fields
            are not eligible for changing.  You will be prompted  for  each  new
            field in order.  Press <RETURN> to keep a field unchanged.

  l [pers [proj [org]]]
            List  the current entry (if no arguments are specified) or the first
            matching entry, starting at the top.   %  may  be  used  to  specify
            wildcard match.

  la [pers [proj [org]]]
            List  all  matching  entries, starting at the top.  % may be used to
            specify wildcard match.

  ln [pers [proj [org]]]
            List the next matching entry, starting at the current entry.  If  no
            arguments are given, the previous name specification is used.

  lc        List all the changed or new entries.

  ll        List the locality of the current entry, displaying the preceding and
            succeeding 5 entries.

  wr        Update the file with all changes and exit.

  q         Quit without updating.

  h [comm]  Help  --  list  briefly  all  the available commands or a particular
            command in detail.
