Hi ,
i m running short of commandline area .
ex :
c all 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' 'yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy'

this command doesnt fit on usual command line .

is there any way to move into some special pannel or so to give these commands ?

Thanks ,

Hi Kapil,

I've used this approach many times:

c all 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' '~'

Then c all '~' 'yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy'

Just be sure to do a f '~' first to make sure none exist in the file.

hi ,

u gave the most appropriate answer to it .....
but actually i didn't mean to ask the exact syntax for change command
( on my part i also used the same technique .)

but wat i exactly wanted was to use any type of long commands .
because wat i think is tat this manframe editor is quite powerful .
it can't be restricted just by length of parameters .

if u hav ne idea plz... help me

Thanks in advance ,
