Editing a menu entry
====================

   The menu entry editor looks much like the main menu interface, but
the lines in the menu are individual commands in the selected entry
instead of entry names.

   If an <ESC> is pressed in the editor, it aborts all the changes made
to the configuration entry and returns to the main menu interface.

   When a particular line is selected, the editor places the user at a
special version of the GRUB command-line to edit that line.  When the
user hits <RET>, GRUB replaces the line in question in the boot entry
with the changes (unless it was aborted via <ESC>, in which case the
changes are thrown away).

   If you want to add a new line to the menu entry, press <o> if adding
a line after the current line or press <O> if before the current line.

   To delete a line, hit the key <d>. Although GRUB does not support
"undo" unfortunately, you can do almost the same thing by just
returning to the main menu.
