The editing unit is a unit subject to alteration or deletion in one operation.
In one scan operation, the cursor indicates the start of an editing unit.
An insertion is made after an editing unit.

(i) Program portion from an address to immediately before the next
address
(ii) An address is an alphabet,
IF, WHILE, GOTO, END, DO=,or ; (EOB).
According to this definition, a word is an editing unit.
The word “word,” when used in the description of editing, means an
editing unit according to the precise definition.
WARNING
The user cannot continue program execution after altering,
inserting, or deleting data of the program by suspending
machining in progress by means of an operation such as a
single block stop or feed hold operation during program
execution. If such a modification is made, the program may
not be executed exactly according to the contents of the
program displayed on the screen after machining is
resumed. So, when the contents of memory are to be
modified by part program editing, be sure to enter the reset
state or reset the system upon completion of editing before
executing the program.
