'''Function:''' beginedit ( u : unitptr);

 '''u'''
 the PC unit doing the editing
 '''return'''
 When done editing it returns SFB_EDIT and activator is set to PC

The 'BEGINEDIT' function sets a PC into editing mode. while in edit mode
the PC field 'editing is set to true. Once the PC is done editing a 'SFB_EDIT'
message is sent to the unit editing to continue on with the DIL.
If for some reason the PC needs to break
out of the editor before it is done editing then the Dil needs to call
the 'killedit' function
[[#sect-beginedit|interrupt editing before done]]

'''example:'''

---~---~---~---~---~---~---~---~---

dilbegin edextra ();
var
temp:string;
code
{
beginedit (self);
wait(SFB_EDIT,self==activator) ;
temp:=textformat(argument);
addextra (self.extra,"general",temp);
quit;
}
dilend

---~---~---~---~---~---~---~---~---


The previous DIL is an example of how you could make a command to set the
general extra which is the characters description when you do 'look player'
