  WPS Continue Search

  Searches for another occurrence of a string already entered with FIND,
  GLOBAL REPLACE, REPLACE, or WILDCARD FIND, and highlights the found text.
  (Same as the FIND NEXT command.)

  Steps:

     1.  Optionally, set the direction of the buffer---press the WPS Advance
         key (KP0) for forward direction or WPS Backup key (KP1) for reverse
         direction.  Otherwise, the search will begin in the direction of
         your last FIND.

     2.  Press the WPS Continue Search key (GOLD-. on the keyboard).

  Usage notes:

  o  The search begins in the direction of your last FIND or WILDCARD FIND
     unless you changed the direction of the buffer (as in Step 1 above).

  o  If there is no occurrence in the initial 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.  If there is no
     occurrence, a message tells you that EVE could not find the string.

  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 RESET (with the WPS keypad, press GOLD-PERIOD on the keypad).
