Ending EDIT

These commands exit EDIT.

Exit, saving changes

W

Exits EDIT, saving all changes to the destination file specified by TO. EDIT exits after reaching the end of the source, closing all the files, and relinquishing memory. If you started EDIT without specifying a destination file, it renames the temporary destination with the same name as the original source file, which is renamed. T/Edit-backup. This backup is only available until the next time you run EDIT.

Exit, without saving changes

STOP

Stops EDIT immediately without saving any changes to the source file. Prevents EDIT from overwriting to original source file, ensuring that no changes are made to the original input information.
