Tim Edwards d3b314d877 Corrected an error in the previous commit. Implemented a new form
of the "edit" command that takes an instance name as an argument.
This is the first of a small series of command extensions to
provide the capability to replace any command that is dependent on
the pointer position with an equivalent command that is not, for
the purpose of removing pointer and screen coordinate dependencies
from the log file created by "logcommands".
