Some notes from 2022. Not sure where I got these commands from.
The EDITOR can be called with the following formats:
ED (file and record id's will be prompted)
ED file (record id's will be prompted)
ED file id (edit the record 'id' in 'file')
ED file id id... (edit multiple id's in 'file')
ED file * (edit all records in 'file')
SELECT ... (may precede 'ED file' command)
Special ASCII characters may be entered as:
...^nnn... where nnn is the decimal character code
...^^... will enter a single UP ARROW character.
An Editor command ending with a '?' will be placed on the command stack,
but will not be executed.
The following commands may be used in the Editor:
A - Do the last 'A any' (APPEND) command again.
A any - APPEND 'any' to this line.
ABORT - Toggle command execution ABORT between ON and OFF.
B - Set the current line pointer to the BOTTOM line.

string after execution is suspended by a PAUSE command.
PAUSE - Is a pre-stored command string command (i.e. It is valid only
