        !             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

        !            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.)

        !            16: a single '.' and that normal editor commands then resume.  Following this
        !            17: pattern, make a file named "pres" that contains the line
