which is fairly self explanatory using the `Arrow Keys' to move around the file display and using commands like
The browser displays a file list at the top of the screen with a the bottom few lines indicating the available commands just listed above.
On ACCC "icarus.uic.edu", for example to Edit a file {it is suggested that you use a copy of a file to practice on first), type:
Edit: The Edit command within Pilot (really Pico simple Pine-like editor) uses EMACS like ctrl commands like `^Key' which means the `Ctrl-Key' pressing together (or at least `Ctrl' held then LOWER CASE `Key' pressed:
^G => Display help. {I.e., use `Ctrl-g'.}
^L => Refresh the display.{I.e., use `Ctrl-l'. You will need this often to see your editing}.
^X => Exit pico, saving buffer. {I.e., use `Ctrl-x'.}
^O => Output the current buffer to a file, saving it. {I.e., use `Ctrl-o'.}
^W => Search for (where is) text, neglecting case. {I.e., use `Ctrl-w'.}
Arrow Keys => Move cursor up, down, forward or backward using the appropriate `Arrow Keys', then press `^L' = `Ctrl-l' to make sure what you have done.
^F => Move Forward a character. {I.e., use `Ctrl-f'.}
^B => Move Backward a character. {I.e., use `Ctrl-b'.}
^P => Move to the Previous line. {I.e., use `Ctrl-p'.}
^N => Move to the Next line. {I.e., use `Ctrl-n'.}
^A => Move to the beginning of the current line.
{I.e., use `Ctrl-a'.}
^E => Move to the End of the current line. {I.e., use `Ctrl-e'.}
^V => Move forward a page of text. {I.e., use `Ctrl-v'.}
^Y => Move backward a page of text. {I.e., use `Ctrl-y'.}
type => There is no insert command, so just move the cursor to the place you want by the `Arrow Keys' or other Move Ctrl-Keys and just type in the characters that you want inserted.
^D => Delete the character at the cursor position. {I.e., use `Ctrl-d'.}
^^ => Mark cursor position as beginning of selected text. {I.e., use `Ctrl-6'. Note: Setting Mark (i.e., pressing `^^' again) when already set unselects text.}
^K => Cut Marked text (displayed in inverse characters).
{I.e., use `Ctrl-k'. Note: The Marked text's boundary using mark
`^^' command on the cursor side
ends at the left edge of the cursor. So, with
Marked text to the left of the cursor, the
character under the cursor is not selected. The complete procedure is
of the form `^^, ^F, ..., ^F, ^K' with n `^F's for cutting out
n characters.}
^U => Uncut (paste) last cut text inserting it at the
current cursor position, or use as an Undo by using at the same position.
{I.e., use `Ctrl-u'.}
^I => Insert a tab at the current cursor position. {I.e., use `Ctrl-i'.}
^J => Format (justify) the current paragraph. {I.e., use `Ctrl-j'. Note: paragraphs delimited by blank lines or indentation.}
^T => To invoke the spelling checker. {I.e., use `Ctrl-t'.}
^C => Report Current Cursor position. {I.e., use `Ctrl-c'.}
^R => Read in or insert an external file at the current cursor position. {I.e., use `Ctrl-r'.}
