The I command inserts new text into the buffer at the current cursor
position.
Format: Itext to be inserted^Z
or: I
text to be inserted
^Z
If you plan to insert only a few characters, use the first form of the I
command. If you plan to insert several lines use the second form. With
the second form you can insert lines until you type control Z. On
VT100-type terminals the I command remains at the bottom of the screen
to remind you that you are inserting text. Only the first form of the I
command can be used in a key definition or after C; in a macro or
startup command file.
