 Format: SHOW MODE

 The SHOW MODE (abbreviated SH M) command shows the current setting of
 the default editing mode.  It indicates the editing mode that is entered
 after all startup processing.  By default, EDT enters line mode when
 startup processing is complete.  Use SET MODE CHANGE in your startup
 command file to cause EDT to enter change mode at the end of startup
 processing.
