S—Show Lines

The S (show line) line command causes one or more lines in a block of excluded lines to be redisplayed. The redisplayed lines have the leftmost indentation levels; they contain the fewest leading blanks. See Redisplaying excluded lines for more information about redisplaying excluding lines.

Syntax


>>-S--+---+----------------------------------------------------><
      '-n-'

n: The number of lines to be redisplayed. If there are more than 2 excluded lines, and you do not type a number or if the number you type is 1, only one line is redisplayed.

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.

Description

To redisplay a line or lines of a block of excluded lines:

Type S in the line command field next to the dashed line that shows where a line or lines has been excluded. The message in the dashed line tells you how many lines are excluded.
If you want to redisplay more than one line, type a number greater than 1 after the S command. 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.
Press Enter. The line or lines with the fewest leading blanks are redisplayed.

Examples

Figure 1 shows how to redisplay a member's excluded lines. To redisplay four lines, type S4 in the line command field.

When you press Enter, the four lines are redisplayed. See Figure 2.

Note: Excluded lines do not need to be displayed again before saving the data. The excluded lines message line is never saved.
