When used with no inputs, EDIT opens a new editor or reopens the most recently used editor. If a name or names are specified with EDIT, the contents of the edit window are the definitions of the specified procedures. If the procedures have not yet been defined, the editor contains the line TO name and END.

EDIT ALL opens the editor and installs all the procedures, names, and property lists that exist in the workspace. EDIT NAMES opens the editor and installs all the user-defined names in the workspace (names defined with MAKE). EDN is equivalent to EDIT NAMES. EDIT PROCEDURES opens the editor with the contents of all the user-defined procedures in the workspace.

EDIT does not evaluate its input. Therefore, you can supply the inputs without quoting them.
