# i command

The i command places the Editor into insert mode to enter one or more
 lines. Pressing Enter at the first position of a line while in insert mode returns control to
 command mode.

## Syntax

```
 i{string}
```
Important: There *must* be a space between the i command, to
 insert a null line, and the text being inserted. Without the space, it will not work.

## Parameter(s)

| string | Text to be inserted in the attribute. |
| --- | --- |

## Example(s)

Inserting a single line:

```

i string
```
-or-

```

i
nnn+string
nnn+
```
Inserting a null line:

```

i
```
Inserting multiple lines with each text *string* (new line) delimited with an
 attribute mark (control shift `^`):

```

i newline1^newline2^newline3
```
