Displaying or defining an edit profile
The first five lines of the edit profile (Figure 1)
are the current mode settings. The remaining lines are the current
contents of the =TABS>
, =MASK>
, and
=BNDS>
lines, with the =COLS>
positioning
line. When no operands are entered, the first five lines, which
contain the =PROF>
flags, are always displayed.
However, the =MASK>
and =TABS>
lines do
not appear if they contain all blanks. If the =MASK>
and =TABS>
lines do contain data, they are displayed,
followed by the =COLS>
line.
The =BNDS>
line does not appear if it contains the
default boundary positions. It does appear when the bounds are set to
something other than the default, and no 'number' parameter is
entered into the PROFILE command.
If you include the name of an existing profile, the editor immediately switches to the specified profile and displays it.
If you include a new profile name, the editor defines a profile using the current modes, options and temporary lines.
The number operand controls the number of lines shown in the
profile display. If you type the number 0
, the profile
is not displayed. If you type a number from 1
through
8
, that number of lines of the profile is displayed. If
you type the number 9
, the complete profile is displayed,
even if the =MASK>
and =TABS>
lines are
blank and the =BNDS>
line contains the defaults. Because
masks are ignored when using a format name, the "=MASK>" line is
not displayed by the profile command in formatted edit sessions.
