RX Function Call

["EBERLE, JIM" JEBERLE@xxxxxxxx]

   I've just come across a really neat function call, RX, in XyWrite 4
   that appears to work differently -- and better -- than the
   documentation states. Maybe this is old hat to most of you, but RX
   does a lot more than execute the last set of recorded keystrokes.
  
   I'm now using it to insert keystrokes I've never recorded. I'm using
   it in combination with the search command. Here is what I do:
  
   I use a control key, F, to search across files 33=BC,s,e,
   ,c,:,*,.,*,/,/,CL When this appears on the command line, I drop in
   the words I want to search for. When I've found what I want, I invoke
   O to open the document. That takes me to the top of the document so to
   get to the search word I do the following using another control key,
   O. On that key is the following: 24=BC,s,e, ,/RX/
  
   The command line shows only se and a space. By hitting the enter key,
   the word I previously entered on the across files search appears and
   the new search is executed.
  
   I mention all of this because: 1. I'm trying to figure out why RX
   works in this situation when no keystrokes are being recorded; 2.
   Whether anyone has a suggestion how I can get the Ctrl-O to
   self-execute; I still need to hit the enter key and using XC after the
   RX doesn't work; and 3. Whether RX is available in XyWrite 3+, which
   is really where I want to use it. There's nothing in the manual.
