Unless you managed to set up FM in some way unknown to me, that's not possible. The Find key on SUN simply does a "find again" for what's specified in the dialog. (Shift+Find searches backward.) Maybe you're thinking of buffers for copied text? On UNIX, there *are* two separate text buffers, so that you actually paste different texts using the Paste command (or the Paste key on SUN) and using the middle mouse button (which acts as paste). The quick way to copy/paste text with the left and middle mouse buttons are extremely handy on UNIX. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Thomas Michanek, FrameMaker/UNIX/MIF expert mailto:Thomas.Michanek@telia.com (Sweden) http://go.to/framers , or go directly to: http://w1.133.telia.com/~u13304072/framers - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ** To unsubscribe, send a message to majordomo@omsys.com ** ** with "unsubscribe framers" (no quotes) in the body. **
