You can not edit them. Since I'm a terrible typists, there were lots of do overs! And one time I spent a long time writing a program but hadn't learned why you numbered the cards, then I accidentally dropped the shoebox containing them. Humpty Dumpty would have been easier to put back together. Not long after that I dropped the class and didn't try programming again until I got my Apple ][ Plus and taught myself BASIC. I'll probably be haunted by punch cards in my sleep tonight!
