Description
A large file, e.g., a large listing file
that
you do not want to change, may be viewed
much
faster
using
the
VI
EWON
L Y
control.
It
is
also
an
advantage
to
use
VIEWONL
Y if you want to be certain that
no
changes are made unintentionally.
VIEWONL
Y can be specified for either the main input file or the
OTHER
input
file.
VIEWONL
Y can also be specified under the
QUIT
Init command.
VIEWONL
Y
cannot be specified simultaneously with
FORDWARDONLY.
When
VIE\VONL
Y
is
in
effect for the input file, an output file may not be specified.
If
the
VIEWONL
Y control is specified, the input file
may
not be changed.
The
following
function
keys
are
not
valid with
VIEWONL
Y:
(RUBOUT),
(DELCH),
(DELL),
(DELR),
(DELLI).
The following commands are still displayed on the prompt line; however, they are not
valid
with
VIEWONLY:
(?)REPLACE,
BLOCK
Delete,
GET,
HEX
Input,
INSERT,
MACRO
Insert,
MACRO

All
other
commands are legal. Note that you may save a

portion
of
it using the BLOCK Put command.
While the
VIEWONL
Y control
is
in
effect,
the
message line displays the word View.
Error.
"illegal
command"
is
displayed if an illegal command
is
given.
