+Besides the usual
+.SM SCCS
+commands,
+several ``pseudo-commands'' can be issued.
+These are:
+.IP edit 1i
+Equivalent to ``get \-e''.
+.IP delget
+Perform a delta on the named files
+and then get new versions.
+The new versions will have id keywords expanded,
+and will not be editable.
+The \-m, \-p, \-r, \-s, and \-y flags
+will be passed to delta,
+and the \-b, \-c, \-e, \-i, \-k, \-l, \-s, and \-x flags
+will be passed to get.
+.IP deledit
+Equivalent to ``delget'' except that the
+``get'' phase includes the ``\-e'' flag.
+This option is useful for making a ``checkpoint''
+of your current editing phase.
+The same flags will be passed to delta
+as described above,
+and all the flags listed for ``get''
+above except \-e and \-k
+are passed to ``edit''.
+.IP create
+Creates an
+.SM SCCS
+file,
+taking the initial contents from the file of the same name.
+Any flags to ``admin'' are accepted.
+If the creation is successful,
+the files are renamed with a comma on the front.
+These should be removed when you are convinced that
+the
+.SM SCCS
+files have been created successfully.
+.IP fix
+Must be followed by a
+.B \-r
+flag.
+This command essentially removes the named delta,
+but leaves you with a copy of the delta
+with the changes that were in it.
+It is useful for fixing small compiler bugs, etc.
+Since it doesn't leave audit trails,
+it should be used carefully.
+.IP clean
+This routine removes everything from the current directory
+that can be recreated from SCCS files.
+It will not remove any files being edited.
+If the
+.B \-b
+flag is given, branches are ignored in the determination
+of whether they are being edited;
+this is dangerous if you are keeping the branches in the
+same directory.
+.IP unedit
+This is the opposite of an ``edit''
+or a ``get \-e''.
+It should be used with extreme caution,
+since any changes you made since the get
+will be irretrievably lost.
+.IP info
+Gives a listing of all files being edited.
+If the
+.B \-b
+flag is given,
+branches (i.e.,
+\s-1SID\s0's with two or fewer components)
+are ignored.
+If the
+.B \-u
+flag is given
+(with an optional argument)
+then only files being edited by you
+(or the named user)
+are listed.
+.IP check
+Like ``info''
+except that nothing is printed if nothing is being edited,
+and a non-zero exit status is returned if anything
+is being edited.
+The intent is to have this included in an ``install''
+entry in a makefile
+to insure that everything is included into the
+.SM SCCS
+file
+before a version is installed.
+.IP tell
+Gives a newline-separated list
+of the files being edited
+on the standard output.
+Takes the
+.B \-b
+and
+.B \-u
+flags like
+``info'' and ``check''.
+.IP diffs
+Gives a ``diff'' listing between the current version of the
+program(s) you have out for editing and the versions
+in
+.SM SCCS
+format.
+The
+.B \-r,
+.B \-c,
+.B \-i,
+.B \-x,
+and
+.B \-t
+flags are passed to
+.I get\c
+; the
+.B \-l,
+.B \-s,
+.B \-e,
+.B \-f,
+.B \-h,
+and
+.B \-b
+options are passed to
+.I diff.
+The
+.B \-C
+flag is passed to
+.I diff
+as
+.B \-c.
+.IP print
+This command prints out verbose information
+about the named files.
