LINE
LINE places you in Line Mode.
Form
LIN[E]
Purpose
This command places you in Line Mode. There are many advantages to using
LINE Mode, among them convenience and speed. The LINE command allows you
to enter commands one at a time by pressing the carriage return. Errors
can be erased with the backspace key.
In Line Mode you see the results of commands being executed on the
screen. For example, if you use the DELETE command, the lines being
deleted are displayed. (You may not wish to have all the lines being
deleted displayed. By typing <Control Y> you stop the listing. <Control
Y> does not stop the execution of the command, however.)

function key F7, when the softkey label for F7 reads "LINE MODE".
