WDEDIT(1) — HP-UX
NAME
wdedit − edit Native Language I/O word dictionary
SYNOPSIS
wdedit file
DESCRIPTION
Wdedit is an editor for the word dictionary, which is used for phrase or word conversion by Native Language I/O. Wdedit modifies the word dictionary to establish or change the correspondence between designations and words. A designation may be connected to several words. By attaching the word dictionary to Native Language I/O using nlioenv(1), designations can be translated into one of their corresponding words via host input conversion.
Wdedit must be invoked on terminals with Native Language I/O enabled. If file does not exist, it is created and initialized with the default capacity defined in wdutil(1).
To create a new designation or modify the words that are attached to an existing one, use the / command, then attach or modify corresponding words by using the edit commands below.
