SPUG: Please help me understand this

[vikas verma]

Thanks a Lot.Two more questions:
1. What command should I use to delete the top and bottom line of a file.
2.What command should I use to run three different files in sequence(priority) and if it fails while running say 2nd file then it should restart the execution from that point instead of rerunning from begining.

Thanks
