RE: 2 instances of "find/change"?

["Stuart Burnfield" <stuartb@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes Thomas, you're right. I was thinking of the separate Paste buffer.

I've been away from UNIX too long. Now I have Windows 98, and it's
winter, and everything is cold and dark...

[slap] Well, back to reality.

ObFramers: That extra bank of keys on the Sun keyboards is very handy
for Frame users. About half of them are already mapped to something
useful in Frame (Find, Paste, etc.). The others can be mapped to Frame
keyboard macros to give you one-key access to perform tasks that would
be quite tedious to do manually.

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.
