Annotation of 42BSD/usr.lib/learn/editor/L44.1e, revision 1.1.1.1

1.1       root        1: #print
                      2: As you've probably noticed, the backslash character "\"
                      3: is rather special to the editor (and to other programs
                      4: as well).  So what do you do when you have to somehow
                      5: get a backslash into some text, or to edit it in
                      6: or out?
                      7: 
                      8: Getting it in in the first place is quite easy: when
                      9: you are appending with "a" (or inserting with "i", or
                     10: changing with "c", or reading with "r"), there's
                     11: nothing special about "\" at all.  To verify this,
                     12: add the line
                     13: 
                     14: Two backslashes \\ do not equal one forward slash.
                     15: 
                     16: to the file "junk", re-write it, then type "ready".
                     17: #create Ref
                     18: This is a file with a silly line in it.
                     19: Two backslashes \\ do not equal one forward slash.
                     20: #create junk
                     21: This is a file with a silly line in it.
                     22: #user
                     23: #cmp Ref junk
                     24: #log
                     25: #next
