 The FLOW edit macro allows you to place your cursor on a particular column on a
 piece of text and it will "text-flow" from the line where your cursor is and
 then indent the results to column where your cursor is.  It assumes that the
 right most boundry of the the text will be the LRECL of the file being edited.

 As an example, this paragraph begins in column 2 and goes to column 80 if you
 are browsing it. If you are printing it with carriage control, it will be 1 an
 79 respectively.  Anyway, if I type flow on the command line and then place my
 cursor on the word "this" (on the "t" of "this") and press , the
 paragraph is processed and looks like the following:

 As an alternative to typing "FLOW" on the command line each time, you could set
 a PF key to "FLOW" instead.  This could be quite helpful if you are currently
 editing a doucument file and you will be doing this often.  If FLOW is on a PF
 key, you would just place your cursor where you want the flow to start and the
 indentation to start, and press the assigened PF key.
