03700 ^THIS MANUAL IS A DESCRIPTION OF THE ^STOPGAP ^EDITOR, AN EASY-TO-USE
03800 BUT POWERFUL LINE-ORIENTED EDITOR THAT IS AVAILABLE TO THE USERS OF THE
03900 ^P^D^P-10 TIME-SHARING SYSTEM.
04000 .PARAGRAPH
04100 ^IN A TIME-SHARING SYSTEM, PROGRAMS ARE USUALLY ENTERED FROM A REMOTE
04200 TELETYPE. ^THIS IS IN DISTINCT CONTRAST TO OTHER SYSTEMS WHERE PROGRAMS
04300 AND REVISIONS MUST BE PREPARED ON PUNCHED CARDS AND SUBMITTED DIRECTLY
04400 TO THE COMPUTER.
04500 .PARAGRAPH
04600 ^IN THE ^P^D^P-10 SYSTEM, PROGRAMS ARE USUALLY WRITTEN AND MODIFIED USING
04700 AN EDITOR. ^PROGRAM STATEMENTS THAT ARE TYPED BY A USER ARE READ BY ^STOPGAP
04800 AND PUT ON THE DISK. ^IN THIS WAY, DISK FILES THAT CONTAIN PROGRAM
04900 STATEMENTS ARE CREATED. ^THESE FILES CONTAINING PROGRAMS ARE WRITTEN
05000 IN SUCH A WAY THAT OTHER PROGRAMS LIKE ^^FORTRAN C\\OMPILER CAN READ THEM.
05100 .PARAGRAPH
05200 ^STOPGAP IS QUITE FLEXIBLE. ^IN ITS BASIC COMMANDS, IT ALLOWS A USER TO
05300 ^INSERT, ^DELETE OR ^PRINT A LINE. ^IN THIS WAY, AND WITH THESE COMMANDS,
05400 FILES THAT CONTAIN PROGRAM STATEMENTS CAN BE CREATED AND REVISED.
05500 ^STOPGAP IN ITS MORE ADVANCED COMMANDS ALLOWS GREAT FLEXIBILITY. ^STRING
05600 SEARCHES, SUBSTITUTIONS AND TEXT MANIPULATION ARE ALLOWED IN THE ADVANCED
05700 COMMANDS. ^ALSO, A COMMAND IS PROVIDED TO ALLOW CHANGES WITHIN A LINE
05800 TO BE MADE WITHOUT HAVING TO RETYPE THE ENTIRE LINE.
05900 .PARAGRAPH
06000 ^THIS MANUAL IS DIVIDED INTO TWO SECTIONS. ^THE FIRST IS A GENERAL
06100 INTRODUCTION AND DESCRIPTION OF THE EDITOR. ^THE SECOND SECTION IS A
06200 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EACH COMMAND.
06300 .PARAGRAPH
06400 ^THE NOVICE USER IS URGED TO BECOME FAMILIAR WITH BASIC COMMANDS
06500 ^INSERT, ^DELETE, ^PRINT AND ^END BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY OF THE MORE
06600 COMPLICATED FUNCTIONS.
