2.1 Loading a Single File

Invoking Ved, as mentioned in Chapter 1, is as simple as typing a command like:

ved filename

In this case Ved will load the file filename, display the file, and position the cursor at the first character in the file.

If the file does not exist you will receive an ``are you sure'' prompt. If you want to create a new file with the name you entered, they press [Y]2.1. The file will not really be created at this time ... files are not created until you actually save the buffer.
