EVE FIND — VMS 5.0

 FIND

 Searches for a stribg of text you specify, or another occurrence of one
 already entered, and highlights the found text.

 Steps:

    1.  Press FIND and type the text you want to find.  Use all lowercase
        to find any occurrence of the text.  Use mixed case or uppercase to
        find an exact match.  Searches are also sensitive to diacritical or
        accent marks.

    2.  Press RETURN to start the search in the current direction, or press
        a direction-setting key.  For example, with the EDT keypad, you can
        press FORWARD (KP4) or REVERSE (KP5).

    3.  To find another occurrence of the same string, press FIND twice.

 EVE highlights the found text, with the cursor at the beginning of the
 string.  Commands such as FILL, REMOVE, STORE TEXT, and UPPERCASE WORD
 then work on the highlighted text the same as on a select range.  (See
 help on SELECT.) To cancel the highlighting, move off the found text or
 use RESET.

 If the string is found in the opposite direction, EVE asks if you want go
 there:  If you want to go there, simply press RETURN; otherwise, type No
 and press RETURN.

 Keys:  By default, EVE defines the FIND key (E1) on the mini keypad.  The
        VT100 keypad define PF1.  The EDT keypad defines GOLD/PF3 as FIND
        and PF3 as EDT Fndnxt.  The WPS keypad defines:

        GOLD/, (comma on keyboard) ......... FIND
        GOLD/. (period on keyboard) ........ WPS Continue Search
        GOLD/? or GOLD// (slash) ........... WPS Continue Search/Select
