Todd, If you are using the line numbered editor that is SED, if you get no line numbers you are using EDIT. You can also check which editor you are using by checking your user options by typing OP at the function prompt. EDIT is what used to be called FILGE and we have a complete help file in DL 1 for use with FILGE, its called FILGE.HLP. The other option is to type "/H" at the beginning of a line (no quotes) and you will get on-line help. Once you exit a message, and are at the ACTION prompt…you can enter C for Continue and be put back into the editor, or P to preview the message and of course the other options like Save, SaveUnformated, MAil, MailUnformated. And finaly you can Abort the save of the message. If you chose to continue the edit, you are put back in at the TOP of the message, and anything you type will be added at the top, you have to move to the bottom manualy "/TYPE" or "/B" will do it. In the case where you accidentaly hit a function key, you could have entered a "/D" (BTW, lower case works also on all the above) to delete the offending line, assuming it was the line you had just entered, or moved to that line and done the same thing. EDIT is actually a fairly good on-line editor once you get used to it. Don
