Those poor lonely CRs can be fixed quickly in WORDSTAR using the following procedure 1. Edit the file using the "N" or "D" option from the WS main menu. 2. Execute the search and replace by typing ctrl-Q and "A" and return. 3. Respond to the FIND? with a ctrl-P and ctrl-M and return. 4. Respond to the Replace with? with ctrl-N and return 5. Respond to the Options? with GN and return. The complete file will be fixed. Note If you quickly follow the return after the 'GN' with a ctrl-Q, an A, and a return, the display will not be updated during the changes. This makes the change take place significantly faster. In point of fact, you can use a ctr-k and a space to eliminate the display updating. I "discovered" this by accident one day when I was impatiently waiting for WORDSTAR to finish up. Hope this helps.

Just a note in reply to speeding up Search/Replace with Wordstar: CTRL/Q, followed by "A <cr>" also can be done simply by pressing <esc> during wor- star's (painfully slow) Search/Replace screen updating process. -dru T.MOORE%MIT-EECS@MIT-MC.ARPA -------
