Not strong enough. What about the possibility that the cursor is on

the first character in the string but not at
Top_of_File?


I see. I was confused. The problem is that SE/F doesn't find a string
when it's on the first character thereof, and TOF is only a problem
because you can't back up. The way it works makes a certain sense: you
wouldn't expect it to register a "find" if it were on the
second character of the find-string. It's always forward-looking. Okay, I
accept that.


But here's a contradiction: SEB finds a string when the cursor is on any
except the first character thereof. So SEB is not
backwards-looking.
