Do not know about Unidata but you can get to any unix directory/file with
pointers in Universe. Then you can use either ED or WED and so on. I have to
admit to being spoiled by accuterms WED.

Subject: Re: [U2] Over-coming EDitor shortcomings
So, what good is that for those of us who live on Unix/Linux and don't
have the option of running Accuterm?
I use gvim, which has pretty good syntax highlighting,
copy/move/find-replace, etc. I prefer it to ED. I've never used AE.
I guess it's time to do some experimenting with other technologies.
OH, and just for fun, consider this: I write my HTML code with gvim or
vim, period...
Old School or just stubborn? hmmm.

Shameless plug for Accuterm
If you haven't used WED, their Windows EDitor, you're missing a ton of
helpful editor stuff. All of the shortcuts and command-line tricks pale by
comparison.
Funny, how everybody talks about the latest XYZ alphabetic technologies
yet
still use an editor barely better than vi or EDLIN. And don't let your
years
of experience sway you to protecting that fingertip editor. I've been
using
the regular EDIT, AE or vi coming up on 30 years and WED blows them all
away. (this ain't a contest)
WED alone without their graphical developer tools (GED) or their powerful
emulator is worth the price. Accuterm is truly one of the best bargains in
the MV world.

I created a pre-store, a few years back, that does something similar
thing in the regular editor. I think we were still on UV 7.4 at the
time.
ED ED FIB
6 lines long.
: P
0001: EPre-stored Command saved at 16:50:53 24 JUN 1998
0002: FORMAT
0003: SAVE
0004: XEQ DECATALOG @FILE @ID
0005: XEQ BASIC @FILE @ID
0006: XEQ CATALOG @FILE @ID
Bottom at line 6.
So when in the regular editor all you have to do is type in: .X FIB
Which is a few more key strokes but less than all of the commands.
I didn't want to do the run because most of the development at the time
was done on a live system. But you could add: XEQ @FILE @ID or XEQ @ID
after the last line and save it as FIBR to do as you are doing.

Which is why I like the AE [alternate] editor.
Once you've executed a format command in your logon session, you simply
type 'FOR' at any time the rest of the day, in any edit session, to
format with the same parameters.
FOR -I3 -M3 [Indention of 3, margin of 3]
BTW, If you're chasing a pesky bug that's hidden in a 14 tier nested
LOOP,IF,CASE,Whatever then use this:
'FOR -TRACE' it will put pipes in for you where we used to draw lines
with our ruler to trace the logical flow.
Then when your done and want to compile:
'FIBR' will file it, compile it, and run it [don't get to habitual with
the 'R' if your in a sub].
The AE invoked compiler removes the old source when it starts, that way
if the compile produces no object, it doesn't run the old object code.
At least this is the behavior on UV 10 or higher.
356:
357:IF HOLD # '' AND NOT(ALARM) THEN
*--: FOR -I3 -M3
Margin=3, Indentation=3, -incase
!!
*--: FOR
Margin=3, Indentation=3, -incase

Compiling: Source = '/system1/dev.programs/BHB/DOE.WRITE.SUB.F1675',
Object = '/system1/dev.programs/BHB.O/DOE.WRITE.SUB.F1675'
***
000671
Compilation Complete.
Of course, you could stack the FORmat command and the FIBR command into
a saved prestore that you recall when you begin your edit session, but
that's another subject.
FWIW,
