Re: macros






Well, I tried to write a program file, which I have attached, but it didn't
work. It replaced one carriage return and gave me a search program placard.
I need to have a command that says replace all, and there has to be a place
to put what it's to be replaced with. No help from help as to how that sub
command within the control R command would be expressed or found.
