7.0;es (edit_string) *DM*, revision 7.0, 83/08/11
ES (EDIT_STRING) *DM* -- Insert string.
usage: es 'string'


FORMAT

  ES 'string'


  If a window is currently in write mode, then any text character typed
  at the keyboard is inserted at the current cursor position.  This is
  the default Display Manager action.  Typing text into a read-only
  window causes an error.

  The ES command inserts a string of text at the current cursor position.
  Enclose the string to be inserted in apostrophes.  Since text insertion
  is the default action anyway, this command is primarily useful only in
  key definition commands where you want some text written out when the key
  is pressed.
