 Merge Commands
 ==============
 
    Groups of common lines, with a blank gutter, are copied from the
 first file to the output.  After each group of differing lines, `sdiff'
 prompts with `%' and pauses, waiting for one of the following commands.
 Follow each command with <RET>.
 
 `e'
      Discard both versions.  Invoke a text editor on an empty temporary
      file, then copy the resulting file to the output.
 
 `eb'
      Concatenate the two versions, edit the result in a temporary file,
      then copy the edited result to the output.
 
 `ed'
      Like `eb', except precede each version with a header that shows
      what file and lines the version came from.
 
 `el'
      Edit a copy of the left version, then copy the result to the
      output.
 
 `er'
      Edit a copy of the right version, then copy the result to the
      output.
 
 `l'
      Copy the left version to the output.
 
 `q'
      Quit.
 
 `r'
      Copy the right version to the output.
 
 `s'
      Silently copy common lines.
 
 `v'
      Verbosely copy common lines.  This is the default.
 
    The text editor invoked is specified by the `EDITOR' environment
 variable if it is set.  The default is system-dependent.
