  WPS Continue Search/Select

  Searches for another occurrence of a string already entered with FIND,
  GLOBAL REPLACE, REPLACE, or WILDCARD FIND---and if it is found, selects
  the text.

  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/Select key (GOLD-/ or GOLD-?).

  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 selects the found text, with the cursor
     the end of the selection---canceling any other selection.  If SET BOX
     SELECT is in effect, the selection is a box, which uses bold video
     highlighting instead of reverse video.

  o  To edit the selection, 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.

  o  Moving the cursor extends or shrinks the selection.  To find the next
     occurrence without selecting it or canceling a current select , use the
     FIND NEXT command or press the WPS Continue Search key (GOLD-. on the
     keyboard).

  o  To cancel the selection, use SELECT, BOX SELECT, or RESET.
