OVERVIEW
Implied Insert Point _______________________
The Implied Insert Point is a convenient, but sometimes
confusing, facility available to the user who wants the location
of the editing command to default to the word before the text
last string which was ____ edited. Except for the Block creation
commands (IBLOCK, IDBLOCK, MBLOCK, and MDBLOCK), any of the
commands listed in Appendix D.2 set an Implied Insert Pointer as
described above (&POP describes how the Block commands set two
Pointers).
If the <iip> parameter is omitted from any command, the <lp>
defaults to the last Implied Insert Pointer set (see Section 5.7
for an explanation of <lp> and <iip>). A list of up to eight
pointers are maintained in an Implied Insert Stack on a last-in,
first-out (LIFO) basis. &POP gives several examples using the
Implied Insert Pointer.
As-Is Mode _____________
It is often convenient to enter text as it will appear in the
formatted printout, without having to type the necessary format
codes indicating a new line and the tab key (e.g., constructing
tables).
As-is Mode __________ translates a carriage return and depression of the
physical tab key to the appropriate format codes. As-is Mode can
be entered either by using the House Function &ASIS, or by
indicating the appropriate parameter on many commands which put
the user into Swift Input Mode.
