EDPPO/COMMANDS


  If  you omit the -A, -D, -L, and -LF options on the command line, EDPPO enters
  an interactive editing session  which  accepts  the  following  commands  from
  standard input.

  a [name [fullname]]
            Define  one  or  more  new names, along with optional full name.  If
            'fullname' is omitted, EDPPO will prompt you for it.  Enter an empty
            line if you wish the fullname field to be null. (See  -A  above  for
            name  formats and restrictions.)  If no name is specified, names are
            read from standard input.

  cf name new_fullname
            Change the full name associated with the name indicated.

  d name    Delete the name indicated.  Once deleted, the  name  identifier  can
            NOT  be recreated.  DELETE JUDICIOUSLY.  Normally, people's accounts
            should be deleted (with EDACCT), NOT their names.

  l [name]  List one or all names defined (including new ones).

  lf [name] List one or all names defined with their associated full  names,  if
            any.

  ln        List only those names added during this editing session.

  wr        Update the file with the changes and exit.

  q         Quit without updating.

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