1.1       root        1: #print
                      2: So far you only know how to copy and print existing files in the editor,
                      3: and not how to get started from scratch.  The 'a' (append) command lets
                      4: you type in new text.  For example, the sequence
                      5:   ex file
                      6:   a
                      7:   this is a new line of text
                      8:   .
                      9:   wq
                     10: will append the line
                     11:   this is a new line of text
                     12: to the editor buffer, and then write it on "file".  (If "file" doesn't
                     13: already exist, the editor will warn you, but it's not an error.)
                     14: 
                     15: Note that the material being added ends with the line that just contains
                     16: a single '.' and that normal editor commands then resume.  Following this
                     17: pattern, make a file named "pres" that contains the line
                     18:

                     20: 
                     21: and, after you have written it with a 'w' command, and done your 'q',
                     22: try saying "cat pres" to check that you did it right.  Then type "ready".
