If I remember correctly, F1, F2, F3 keys work the same in EDLIN as
they do on the DOS command line.  F1, reenter next char, F2 <key> will
reenter uptil the first occurence of <key>, F3 will reenter the entire
line.  <INSERT> toggles between insert and (invisible) overwrite mode.
(I do not use EDLIN, but rather UED, so cant remember 100%)
