Category: Text editing, line command

Syntax

JL <n>

Without Arguments

The JL command left-aligns the designated line of text. Alignment is based on the left and right boundary settings.

Optional Argument

n
specifies the column position on which to left-align the designated line of text. By default, the n argument is the left boundary setting. Follow the n argument with a space.

Details

The JL command left-aligns a designated line of text. Unless you specify a numeric argument, left-alignment is based on the current boundary settings set by the BOUNDS command. A numeric argument overrides those boundary settings.

Comparisons
