  EDT Subs

  Replaces a range or box with text you last copied or cut and then searches
  for another occurrence of the text you replaced so you can continue to
  substitute---in effect, combining the EDT Replace and FndNxt keys in a
  single key definition.

  Steps:

     1.  Copy or cut the text you want to use.  Typically, you press
         the SELECT key, type the text, and then press REMOVE.

     2.  Select or find the text to replace (see help on SELECT or FIND).

     3.  Press the EDT Subs key (GOLD-ENTER).

     4.  After the substitution, EVE searches for another occurrence of the
         text you replaced (effectively, doing a FndNxt).  If the text is
         found again, you can do the following:

         *  To make another substitution (and continue the search),
            press the Subs key (GOLD-ENTER) again.

         *  To skip this occurrence (no substitution) and find
            the next one, press the EDT FndNxt key (PF3).

         *  To cancel the search, use the RESET command or with
            the EDT keypad, press GOLD-PERIOD.

  Usage notes:

  o  The replacement text is case-exact---Subs does not change the case of
     the replacement to match the case of the search string.  To have the
     replacement match the case of the search string, use the GLOBAL REPLACE
     or REPLACE commands.

  o  Depending on your setting, the replacement text is copied from the
     INSERT HERE buffer or the DECwindows clipboard.  Default is SET
     NOCLIPBOARD.

  o  If the INSERT HERE buffer or the clipboard is empty, EDT Subs deletes
     the highlighted text without inserting anything.  To check the contents
     of the INSERT HERE buffer, use the command BUFFER INSERT HERE.

  o  With box editing, EDT Subs works like BOX CUT and BOX PASTE---useful to
     replace text in a list or table.  See help on Ranges And Boxes.
