Hello,

      I am looking for some macros to enhance my use of XEDIT. I have
written an EOL macro and was about to embark on a whole slew of TSO--
type commands. Like: d all x - to delete all excluded lines
                     d all nx - delete all nonexcluded lines.
                     x all 'robr' 1 - exclude all lines with robr in col 1.
                     c all 'robr' 'fredf' 10 20 - change all robr in cols
                                                  10 to 20 to fredf.
     And any other nifty ones I haven't thought about.
     Of course why reinvent the wheel! If I could get any references etc
to where I can some of these features/macros/utilities it would be greatly
appreciated. Of course if they haven't-been-invented-yet, I may have to
sit at the drawing board and craft some. Thanks...:)
