Example: Mappings Using Variables
Some example mappings using variables are:
map control-s {execute cp $filename $filename.bak; \
save;}
This changes the CONTROL+S sequence so that it first makes a backup copy of the previous version of the file with a .bak extension and then saves the current version.
map f2 {readvar -prompt \
"Enter story name:" story; exec edit $story;}
This is much like the edit command without arguments, but allows a specialized prompt string.
