DESCRIPTION

Use the edit command to invoke an editor. With no arguments, the editor is invoked on the current file. If you specify filename, it is invoked on that file. If you specify procedure, it is invoked on the file that contains that procedure or function; Prism positions you at the start of the procedure.

The editor that is invoked depends on the setting of the Prism resource Prism.editor. If this resource is not set, Prism uses the setting of your EDITOR environment variable. If neither is set, the default editor is vi.

You cannot redirect the output of this command.

You can use the default alias e for this command.
