Library /sys$common/syshlp/EDTHELP.HLB  —  TYPE
 The TYPE (abbreviated T) command displays the specified range of lines
 on the terminal.

 Format: TYPE [range] [/BRIEF[:n]] [/STAY]

 The first line in the specified range becomes the current line.

 If the range specification starts with a nonalphabetic character, the
 keyword TYPE may be omitted completely.

1    /BRIEF

 Format: /BRIEF[:n]

 When you select the /BRIEF (abbreviated /BR) option, only the first n
 characters of the  line are displayed.  If you omit n, the default
 is 10.

2    /STAY

 Format: /STAY

 When you select the /STAY (abbreviated /ST) option, the cursor position
 is not changed by the TYPE command.  This enables you to look at text
 elsewhere in the buffer (or in another buffer) without losing your
 position.
