EVE FIND_NEXT — VMS 5.5-2H4

 FIND NEXT

 Searches for another occurrence of a string already entered with FIND,
 FIND SELECTED, REPLACE, or WILDCARD FIND, and highlights the found text.

 Keys:  EDT Keypad       WPS Keypad               DECwindows Func Key
        -------------------------------------------------------------
        PF3 (FndNxt)     GOLD-. (on keyboard)     SHIFT/FIND

 Steps:

    1.  Optionally, set the direction of the buffer (forward or reverse).

    2.  Use FIND NEXT (see key list above) or press the FIND key twice.

 Usage notes:

 o  If an occurrence is found, EVE puts the cursor at start of the found
    text and highlights the found text in bold video.

 o  If there is no occurrence in the current direction, EVE automatically
    searches in the other direction.  If there is an occurrence in that
    direction, EVE asks if you want to go there---press RETURN for Yes, or
    type No and press RETURN.

 o  To edit the found text, use a command or key that works on a range or
    box, such as COPY, BOX CUT, FILL, REMOVE, or UPPERCASE (see help on
    Ranges And Boxes).  If you used SET BOX SELECT, an editing operation on
    the found range uses the start and end of the range as diagonally
    opposite corners of a box.

 o  To cancel the highlighting, move the cursor out of the found range, or
    use the RESET command.

 o  In typing the FIND command, if you want to search for the word "next,"
    put it in quotes or let EVE prompt you for the search string.
