#print
When you actually edit a file,
the first thing the editor does before giving
you its ':' prompt is to tell you the name
of the file and the number of lines and
characters it contains.
If you edit a file that does not yet
exist, it will let you know
by printing the message "No such file or directory".
I'm going to put you in the editor
with a file a called "junk".  Leave
the editor with 'q'.  Do you know how many
characters there are in "junk"?
When you get the '%' type "answer N"
where N is the number.
#create junk
You're in the editor.
Type in the number of characters in this file.
