Ctrl-C can be used to abort in many places (including here)
Detailed description (Ctrl-C to abort)
====================
When you type a "." at the beginning of a line, a ">>" will be echoed to inform you that you are now typing a command. If you want to put a period at the beginning of a line (in the actual text), type two consecutive periods ("..").
To specify line ranges, you may specify a list of line ranges seperated by commas.. A line range can be a line number (9), a range (9-12), a bottomless range (-5), a topless range (120-), or an EVERYTHING range (-) (just a dash).. In addition, line ranges can be seperated by commas.
Example: ">>Delete:-5,7,10-12,15,20-", or, to list all lines (the default), ">>List:-".
All the lines in a list are processed before the lines are renumbered, so, for instance, in the case of a ">>Delete:" command, you don't have to worry about the order that you type in the line numbers/ranges.
The ">>Justify:" command only takes one line number, the line number to start justifying at. The default is the first line. It will justify all lines from that line onward.
The ">>Insert:" command also only takes one line number, the line AFTER the place of insertion. For example, to insert between line 3 and 4, use ">>Insert:4".
With the ">>Move:" and ">>Copy:" commands, you must specify only 1 line range, and a destination line to insert it at. You can type this in one of two ways: You can type just the source range, then RETURN, (for example: ">>Move:3-6", and then it will ask you for the destination line, for example "Move to:9". There is also a shortcut. You can type a ">" between the source range and the destination line, for example ">>Move:3-6>9"
Most commands have a default line range. To use the default, type the command, but then type RETURN without typing any line range, and Nova Link will type it for you. "Edit" and "Delete" use the last line entered as the default, (or in insert mode, the last line inserted). "List" and "Read" use ALL lines as the default ("-"). "Justify" uses line 1 as the default, (to justify ALL lines).
