CINSERT Subcommand

The CINSERT subcommand inserts characters immediately before the column pointer.

To insert the phrase exactly 29,000 feet before the word high in the following sentence

Mt. Everest is high.

first move the column pointer to the first character in high by entering:

clocate/high/

Then insert the phrase:

cinsert exactly 29,000 feet

(Press the spacebar once after the word feet so a blank separates feet and “high”.) The resulting line is:

  Mt. Everest is exactly 29,000 feet high.
