  FIND

  Searches for a string of text you specify and highlights the found text.

  Key:   EVE default    VT100 keypad    EDT keypad    WPS keypad
         ---------------------------------------------------------------
         FIND           PF1             GOLD-PF3      GOLD-, on keyboard

  Steps:

     1.  Use the FIND command (see key list above).

     2.  Type the text you want to find (see examples below).

     3.  To find another occurrence of the same string, use
         the FIND NEXT command or press the FIND key twice.

  Examples:

     Commands               Effects
     ----------------------------------------------------------------------
     FIND mytext            Finds any occurrence of the string, regardless
                            of its case, such as "mytext", "Mytext",
                            "MYTEXT", "mYtExT" and so on.

     FIND Mytext            Finds an exact match---in this example, first
                            letter uppercase and other letters lowercase.

     SET FIND CASE EXACT    Enables case-exact searches, and then finds
     FIND mytext            only an all lowercase occurrence.

     SET FIND WHITESPACE    Enables FIND to treat spaces, tabs, and up to
     FIND mark twain        one line break as white space, so you can find
                            "mark" at the end of a line and "twain" at the
                            start of the next line.

  Usage notes:

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

  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. If SET BOX
     SELECT is in effect, an editing operation on the found range uses the
     start and end of the range as diagonally opposite corners of a box---
     see help on Ranges And Boxes.

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

  o  You can use a direction-setting key as a terminator for FIND to make
     the search begin in a particular direction:

        1.  Use FIND, letting EVE prompt you for the search string.

        2.  Type the search string and then press a direction-setting key
            ---for example, with the EDT keypad, press KP5 for REVERSE.

     If you press RETURN instead, the search starts in the current direction
     of the buffer (shown in the status line). For more information, see
     help on Prompts And Responses.

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