Editing Commands
Most
SET
subcommands relate to switches. A switch
is
an
option
that
has only two
states: yes
or
no. When a subcommand
of
this type
is
activated, a
yes/no
question is
displayed on
the
prompt line.
The
value currently
in
effect
is
enclosed in
square
brackets.
Each
feature has a default value; this value
is
in
effect until it
is
reset using
the
SET
command.
