    End Edit command

    Purpose:  Ends EDLIN and saves the edited file.

    Format:   E

    Remarks:  The edited file is saved by writing it to the drive and file-
              name specified when you started EDLIN.

              The original file, the one specified when EDLIN was started,
              is given a .BAK filename extension. A .BAK file will not be
              created if there is no original file; that is, if you created
              a new file instead of updating an old file during the editing
              session.

              EDLIN returns to the DOS command processor, which displays
              the command prompt.

              Be sure your disk has enough free space to save the entire
              file. If your disk does not have enough free space, only a
              portion of the file is saved. The portion in memory that is
              not written to disk is lost. In this case, your original file
              is not renamed to .BAK, and the portion of data that was writ-
              tten to disk will have a filename extension of $$$.

              EDLIN appends a carriage return, line feed sequence (CR/LF) to
              the end of the file, if they were not already present, to de-
              limit the last line of text in the file. Also, a Ctrl-Z char-
              acter is added as the last character in the saved file. This
              serves as an end-of-file mark.
