They are the only way Edit has to separate commands. You will notice that you cannot use something like i/A/a/W/ (or i/A/;a/W/, for example). However, you can chord something like i/A/ a/W/ When you chord your example, acme calls rc with: rc -c 'awk '', so it does not work. rc is who interprets those multiple-line commands. You could use rc functions if that makes you feel better than with plain files, just remember to prepend the function name with a semi-colon, to force rc to interpret the command. At least that is how I remember it, please somebody correct me if I am wrong. -- - yiyus || JGL .
