NAME
       openfile - open files in Edit

SYNOPSIS
       openfile filename ...

DESCRIPTION
       The  openfile command opens files in Edit, with each file opened in its
       own Edit window.	 The openfile command can only	be  used  if  Edit  is
       already running.

       You  can	 specify  one  or  more	 file  names (or pathnames), which are
       interpreted relative to the Terminal or Shell window's current  working
       directory.  For example, the following command would open all the files
       in the current working directory that end with a ".c"  extension,  plus
       all  the	 files	in  a subdirectory called headers that end with a ".h"
       extension:

	    openfile *.c headers/*.h

       If no file name is specified, openfile reads stdin  and	opens  a  /tmp
       file in Edit.  This allows you to use commands such as the following:

	    diff file1 file2 | openfile
	    grep foo *.[mch] | openfile
