- True BASIC FIND
-
- Type │ Press │
- ──────────────┼──────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────────
- │ F3 │ to find the next occurrence of a
- │ │ specified word or number
- ──────────────┴──────────────┴──────────────────────────────────────────
-
- Press F3 and the word `Find:'appears in the history window. Type the
- text you want to find and press Return. It will look only from the
- current cursor location to the end of the file.
-
- To find further occurrences of the same text, press the FIND key and
- then the return key, without typing any new text. As with the CHANGE
- and LOCATE commands, the upper/lower case of the text is ignored, and
- the FIND key finds only complete words or numbers. That is, if you try
- to find `the', you won't find the word `then', or if you try to find `10',
- you won't find `100'. If you really do want to find only part of a word,
- enclose the text to be found in double quotes. Typing "the" in response to
- the Find: prompt will find the word `then', or any word containing the
- sequence `the'.
