ARPUS/ce, Version 2.6.2 (03/10/05) (SCCS 1.2) _______________________________________________________________________________ sl "save location" DESCRIPTION: The sl command sets a temporary marker to a particular location in a ce or ceterm window. The sl command is used in key definitions or other command sequences which are going to go off and do something to the text but not disturb the cursor. This is most often done on in ceterm when sending ce commands back via the 0x0202 prefix (see ) to a ceterm window to do colorization. The command is always used in conjunction with the rl (return to location) command and normally brackets the other commands in the command string. (See example) sl is different than the lbl (label) command in that label attaches a label to a location in the file being edited (or the terminal pad). The label moves with the line. If you did an 'sl' command in a file and then added data in front of the line, the 'rl' command would return you to the line number specified even though the original line moved to a new line number. The 'sl' command is designed for short term work. EXAMPLES: kd ^3 sl;tmw;pb;tb;tl;ca red;rl ke In the above key definition, Pressing Ctrl-3 would color the last line red but not move the cursor. echo '\002\002sl;tmw;pb;tb;tl;ca red;rl' When echo'ed from a shell, this will color the last line on the transcript pad red.
