Syntax Elements

n is the number of lines to increment the line pointer.

Comment

If you specify a value for n that is greater than the number of lines in the item, the Editor moves the line pointer to the end of the item.

Example

:EDIT FILE1 ITEM1 Top .L99 001 AAAAA 002 BBBBB 003 CCCCC 004 DDDDD 005 EEEEE 006 FFFFF EOI 006 .RETURN Top .RETURN 001 AAAAA .RETURN 002 BBBBB .N2 004 DDDDD .

List command. List the first 99 lines in the item. Item has only 6 lines, so entire item is listed. Null command. Because current line pointer is at EOI, the first line is listed. Null command. Lists next line. N (next) command. Moves down 2 lines and lists line.
