the specified line number is an integer then the first line
entered will replace that line. Any further lines entered will
be inserted in the work file following the specified line number.
Adverbs:
BATQUE.....The number of the work file for which the text is being
prepared (1 to allowed maximum which is locally
dependent, often 2)
BATFLINE...The number of the line to be replaced and/or to have
text inserted (used only if no immediate argument
has been given).

inserted between that line and original line 4.
(2). On BATEDIT(7.5) all lines entered will be inserted
between original lines 7 and 8.

(1). The work file is automatically renumbered. Use BATLIST
frequently to keep track of the new line numbers.

endbatch, then the work file is not alterred.
