Some answers: Wildcards, Bookmarks



Nathan, you can search to any sentence terminator with "wild
period." Just type:
  se /@./ where @. is ctrl+alt+period. It's a wildcard for
".!?".

I've been experimenting with wildcards. The negative wildcard
ctrl+alt+minus is one-character-at-a-time. The 'or' wildcard
ctrl+alt+o separates whole strings, as in /Nathan[o]Siven[o]N.

The number wildcards mean "find any number of the next character
up to n".
 So:
/[4][L]string/ should find 'string' preceded by up to four
letters.

hyphen as the first character. The routine in DLG takes you to
the next <
