[net.micro.atari16] Question about Micro-Emacs 3.7i

mugc@utecfa.UUCP (ModemUserGroupChairman) (11/05/86)

[]

	How does one replace a string with a null-string using
	uEmacs 3.7i?

	I do the following (which works but seems very indirect):

	{ESC}R<string>{ESC}{CTRL-Q}{SP}{BSP}{ESC}

	Is there a more direct way?

		-anees

ps. Thanks to James and the other netters who have posted some
	very high quality stuff.

the following has always worked for me,

{ESC}R<string>{ESC}{ESC}
