Line 1 sets the delete line command to control-D. By default, control-D must be pressed
twice to delete a line.
Line 2 removes the exit record command. The default is control-X. The user may still exit
the record the log way - go to the command line and type ex.
Line 3 sets the command to toggle between insert and overwrite modes to octal 6
(control-F).
Line 4 specifies that the jed command line will be invoked when the octal characters
33, 117 and 101 are sent. This is the sequence issued by the F12 key from the jSHELL
console on Windows.
Note: In order to remap any of the command options, you may first need to "unmap" the current function. Failure to unmap a command option that is already mapped will result in the new mapping being ignored. An example:
To set the delete command to Octal 31:
set noback_tab
set delete_line = \031
(the "set noback_tab" is needed because \031 is already mapped to the value "noback_tab")
