A way to read a file is with the F8 command.
To read in a file:
- F8
- When this command is given, the editor will ask for a file
name to be read in. Here also you may give a file name with
full path name. The file is read into the current buffer
beginning at the location of the cursor.
When starting up the editor from some shell programs
you may pass up to eight files to the editor via a command tail.
For example, if you type
stedi hello.c bye.c sub.c sort.c
then when you start the editor, the programs hello.c through sort.c
will be loaded in buffers 1 through 4 respectively.
