In Command Mode, learn how to enter vEdit Command Mode, you are prompted for "command lines" by the "COMMAND:" prompt. Each command line you enter consists of a single command or a sequence of multiple commands that end
by pressing Enter, at which time the command line is executed.
Since no commands are executed until you press Enter, the line can be edited as you enter it. Once the execution begins, it can be aborted by pressing Cancel or Keyboard Shortcut default: <Ctrl-\> (Other Shortcuts:<Ctrl-C> or <Ctrl-Break>). This results in the *BREAK* message and a new "COMMAND:" prompt. vEdit checks for CANCEL before any new command is executed, at the end of each line displayed on the screen and during commands which repeatedly access the disk.
You may see a << displayed at the end of a line preceding the "COMMAND:" prompt. This only indicates that the previous line did not end in a "newline". It can occur when you use the "NOCR" option on selected commands to suppress the newline.
