Which, of course, is nice, but it also doesn't do the same thing, which isn't nice. (I just tried it, and it scrolls the *entire* file except for the lines with the /string/ in them by the screen and then says "[Hit return to continue]" -- I never did like abusing keys -- and when I do *that* the cursor is placed at the last line of the file. That's not quite what I wanted, although it is amusing.) -- Disclaimer: I cannot speak for Data General. You should have guessed that.
