I agree, I never liked the EDT-style SUBS function. I prefer the EVE approach,
which acts as a search&replace mode, whichis how I implemented it when
I modified MicroEMACS. Hit GOLD-Enter, type the old_string, hit ENTER, ADV
or BACK, type the new string, then hit ENTER, ADV or BACK again. It then
finds the string and prompts with a Yes, No, All, Quit  type of request.
