Redisplaying excluded lines

To display all excluded lines, enter the RESET EXCLUDED primary command. Alternatively, you can display one or more excluded lines again by entering the S (show), F (first), or L (last) line commands, typing over the dashes in the line command field. If these commands are typed outside the dashes of the command line area, no action is taken.

You can add a number following any of these line commands to cause more than one line to appear again:

Sn

Fn

Ln

FIND and CHANGE also cause any excluded lines that meet the search criteria to appear again.

The S line command causes the editor to scan a block of excluded lines, and one or more lines is selected to be appear again. The selected lines are those with the leftmost indentation levels; that is, the lines that contain the fewest leading blanks. If you type S3, for example, the three lines with the leftmost indentation level are displayed again. If more than three lines exist at this indentation level, only the first three are displayed.

Note: If you enter an S line command to display all but one line of an excluded block, then that line is also displayed. This could result in more lines being displayed than the number you requested. For example, if five lines are excluded in a block, an S4 command causes all five lines to be displayed.
