Parm 512 to Edit a Single File
Sometimes you want to invoke Qedit for a specific purpose, such as to edit order notes in a purchase order system. You are using Qedit as a dedicated tool for a specific purpose. In these cases, specify Parm 512 and pass in the file name through Info=. You are able to edit only that file, and it will be saved on exit. You will not be allowed to edit any other file.
:run qedit.pub.robelle;info="-p 512 -c visual myfile" /exit Save your changes (yes/no)?
Parm 512 is the same as the Basicentry entry point, except that the file name is specified through Info= rather than through :File Edttext. The functioning is the same, but the primary scratch file will be random instead of Qeditscr. Many tools do not allow you to specify an entry point when running a program, so Parm 512 gives you an alternative.
