7.0;es (edit_string) *DM*, revision 7.0, 83/08/11
ES (EDIT_STRING) -- Insert string.
usage:  es 'string'


FORMAT

  ES 'string'


  If  a  window is currently in write mode, then any text character typed at the
  keyboard is inserted at the current cursor position.    This  is  the  default
  Display Manager action.  Typing text into a read-only window causes an error.

  The  ES  command  inserts  a  string  of  text at the current cursor position.
  Enclose the string to be inserted in apostrophes.  Since text insertion is the
  default action anyway, this command is  primarily  useful  in  key  definition
  commands  where  you want some text written out when the key is pressed, or in
  DM scripts for writing text to the display.
