EDT TYPE — VMS 4.6

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.

Additional information available:

/BRIEF/STAY

/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.

/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.
