Additional information available:

/BEGINNING/COMMENT/END

/BEGINNING

    /BEGINNING (D)

 Indicates that the cursor should be left at the
 beginning of the second line. If you position the
 cursor at the end of the original line, the /BEGINNING
 qualifier adds a new blank line to the current buffer
 and repositions the cursor at the beginning of the new
 line.

 If you position the cursor at the beginning of a
 line, the /BEGINNING qualifier adds a new blank line
 before the current line and the cursor remains at the
 beginning of the current line.

 If you position the cursor within a line, the
 /BEGINNING qualifier splits that line into two lines
 at the original cursor position and repositions the
 cursor at the beginning of the second line.

/COMMENT

    /COMMENT (D)
    /NOCOMMENT

 Indicates whether or not the second line should be a
 comment. This qualifier has no effect unless each of
 the following conditions are met:

 o  The current buffer is associated with a language

 o  Comments are defined for the language

 o  The cursor is positioned within a comment

 o  Wrapping is set for the current buffer

 If all these conditions apply, you use the /NOCOMMENT
 qualifier when you want to terminate a comment and
 begin a code line.

/END

 Indicates that the cursor should be left at the end
 of the first line. If you start with the cursor at the
 end of the original line, the /END qualifier causes the
 cursor to stay there.

 If you start with the cursor at the beginning of a
 line, the /END qualifier adds a new blank line before
 the current line and positions the cursor on that blank
 line.

 If you position the cursor within a line, specifying
 the /END qualifier splits the line in two leaving the
 cursor at the end of the first line.
