The commands in the table below have corresponding on-line help files. Those on-line help files contain fuller descriptions, since it is likely that you will need such descriptions during your actual edit sessions. Most help files are named after their respective commands. For cases in which that is not possible (e.g. "//") or practical (e.g. "(x,y)"), the table entry shows the name of the on-line help file.
The keys noted in this table indicate keys that are related to the corresponding commands; it is not necessarily the case that those keys perform exactly those commands. For example, the table shows that "F8" is related to the "wc" command, and F8's definition is "pw ; wc".
