Re: Xy4 SEarch command: an undocumented feature



Edward,
You are right about this. For example, NB3 menus have all kinds of amenities in the search and replace area but Signature does not. What works in this case is the Signature command line, and it was carried over to XY4 more or less as is. The difference of Signature and XY4 menu structure became evident to me when I tried to make a mini-service pack for Signature (e.g. Options, Insert Other, Special Character, Accented Characters, etc.). The menu code is less developed and different.

Best regards,

One problem with Signature was an incomplete menu system. If I remember correctly, you could insert a footnote from the menu, but, if deltas were not visible, a beginning user wouldn't have a menu-driven way to remove a footnote after inserting it. At least this is what memory reports from ancient history.
