On exit from the system +editor the temporary file is copied back into the associative +memory. Each argument is operated on separately. The sequence of +commands to add the string from 'file' to memory with name +'newname' is as follows: + + e newname + 0 (printed by ed) + r file + 200 + w + 200 + q (get out of ed) + q (get out of fe) + +To dump a string onto a file: + + e name + 200 (printed by ed) + w filename + 200 + q (get out of ed) + q (get out of fe) +.sp2 +.ti -5 +d [ name918 ... ] + +d_eletes a string and its name from the memory. When called with +no arguments d_ operates in a verbose mode typing each string +name and deleting only if a 'y' is typed. A 'q' response returns +to fed's command level.
