Batch
Although Qedit is primarily designed for interactive editing, all commands except Visual can be used with stdin or stdlist redirected. If either stdin or stdlist is redirected, Qedit assumes that it is in batch mode. There are two differences in operation:
An error causes Qedit to terminate in batch mode, but only skips the current command line in session mode;
Where a "Yes-or-No" question is asked in session mode (e.g., "Clear?"), the question is printed with an implicit "Yes" answer in batch mode (e.g., "Clear? Yes").
In both session and batch, a "warning" message is nonfatal. Set Autocont ON causes errors to be nonfatal in batch mode. New work lines can be Added in batch, but because Control-Y cannot be used, the Add should be ended with "//".
