10.0;es (edit_string) *DM*, revision 1.0, 87/12/23
es (edit_string) --insert string
usage:  es 'string'



DESCRIPTION
     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 DM 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 single quotation marks.  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.
