The XC editor on UNIX: Part 3

Running XC

The command to run the XC program is "xc". Type

          xc filename

replacing filename by the name of the file you want to edit. If the file does not exist, it will be created. For example, to edit or create a file named census.data, type

          xc census.data

If the file already exists, XC makes a copy in memory, and all changes you make are only applied to the copy. To quit XC and save the changes, type

          file

on the command line at the bottom of the XC screen, and press the ENTER or RETURN key.

To quit without saving the changes, type

          qquit

instead and press the ENTER or RETURN key. Note that "qquit" has two q's.
