Editor Message	Description
`AS off`	Assembler format is toggled OFF.
`AS on`	Assembler format is toggled ON.
`Command?`	You have issued an illegal Editor command.
`EOI n`	The line pointer is pointing to the end of the item. `n` indicates the number of the last line in the item.
`-FD? Sure (Y/N)?`	The Editor processor recognizes that you have requested that an item be deleted. To provide a safeguard, it prompts you to enter `Y` to delete the item or `N` to retain it.
`File does not exist!`	The file you have attempted to write an item into or merge lines into doesn't exist in your account.
`Hex off`	Hexadecimal format is toggled OFF.
`Hex on`	Hexadecimal format is toggled ON.
`Hex string error`	You have specified an uneven number of characters while in hexadecimal input mode. All hexadecimal numbers must be two digits in length (always 0A, never A, for example).
`Insufficient workspace`	You have attempted to edit an item that is larger than your allotted workspace. Increase the size of your workspace.
`Item exists!`	You have attempted to write an item into a different file under an item-id that already exists in that target file. If you want to do this, use the FIO or FSO command
`Item has changed since entry Continue (Y/N)`	You have attempted to exit an item that you have made changes to duringthe editing session. Enter `Y` to exit the Editor without filing the changes or `N` to remain in the Editor.
`Item is locked by port n Continue (Y/N):`	The item you have requested to EDIT is being edited on another port. Enter `Y` to continue; otherwise, type `N`. If you enter `Y`, the Editor also displays a message to the user on port `n`. If you wish to examine the item in read only mode, enter `N` – the message `NO UPDATES WILL BE ALLOWED!` is displayed.
`Item is not locked by your port. No updates will be allowed!`	You have attempted to update an item locked by another process, or you have attempted to update an item while in browse mode. Your update request is not honored.
`Item lock released. No updates will be allowed!`	The lock on this item set by your process has been released.
`Item size: 'n'`	The current item is `n` bytes in size.
`Macro off`	The macro expansion format is OFF.
`Macro on`	The macro expansion format is ON.
`New item`	The item you have selected to edit does not exist. You are creating a new item.
`not on file`	The item specified in the ME (Merge) command does not exist.
`Null`	The prestore specified by the PD (Prestore display) or ?P command is unallocated (there is no command sequence for that particular prestore).
`Object off`	The object code format is OFF.
`Object on`	The object code format is ON.
`PP off`	The print prestore format is OFF.
`PP on`	The print prestore format is ON.
`Prestore command stack overflow`	The limit on prestores calling other prestores is 80 levels. This message indicates that you have exceeded that depth.
`Release item lock (Y/N)`	You have used the K (Unlock Item) command to request release of the item lock currently set. Enter Y to release the lock. Note that once the lock is released, updates already made to the item can not be filed.
`Sequence?`	You have attempted an out-of-sequence update. You cannot EDIT lines in any sequence other than ascending line number until you issue an F (Flip) command. You need not issue an F to make multiple updates to a single line.
`String?`	You have not issued a required string specification. For example: R5/ABC/ does not specify a replacement string. Specification of a null string requires a second / delimiter. Other examples include omitting a required string for ME, omitting `string2` for an R (Replace) or RU, or an illegal numeric parameter specification that causes part of the numeric parameter to look like a string.
`Suppress off`	Line number display suppression is turned OFF.
`Suppress on`	Line number display suppression is turned ON.
