Open manualFrequently Answers and Questions
How do I start the TECO program?
To run TECO, you typically use a command like 'R TECO' for RT-11, OS/8, TOPS-10, and TOPS-20, 'RUN STECO' for RSTS/E, 'RUN STEC' for RSX-11, or 'RUN SYSSSYSTEM:TECO' for VAX/VMS.
How can I create a new file using TECO?
You can create a new file by using the command 'MAKE filespec' at the operating system command level, which invokes TECO and prepares the specified file for output.
What is the command to exit TECO?
To exit TECO and save your changes, use the 'EX' command. This command writes the buffer contents to the output file, moves any remaining input file text, closes the output file, and returns you to the operating system.
How do I move the text buffer pointer to the beginning?
To move the buffer pointer to the very beginning of the text buffer, use the 'J' command.
What does the Y command do in TECO?
The 'Y' command clears the current text buffer and then reads the next page of the input file into the buffer. Note that it is not permitted if an output file is open and there is text in the buffer.
