How long is a piece of string? By which I mean there are many possible answers.

Have a look at the online help/manual for the editor and look at the "change" command. You'll be amazed by what you can do. Also look at data shifting, boundaries.

That'll get you going. Try to pick up something new every few days with the editor. Knowing about its capabilities will save you much time and trouble. You don't have to memorise everything exactly up-front, just know the sort of things that are available and how to find them. With use, memory comes of its own.
