editor.introduction

one of the original tools of the Pick System for adding, changing and deleting items in files.

It is a 'line-oriented' editor, and provides an assortment of commands that move the 'line pointer' to specific attributes (lines) in the item being edited.

Since everything in Pick is an item in a file, the editor can be used on any item in any file, unless otherwise prevented by retrieval or update lock codes.

Each attribute in an item being edited is treated as a separate line. The numbers to the left of the attribute indicate the 'line' or 'attribute' number.
