Hello, I just needed this and it does not work for me. The command really goes through occurences of 'old' and highlights them, but it doesn't scroll, so I can't see them... which is somewhat crucial for beeing able to confirm/reject the change. I also don't quite understand why that .+#0 is there... Actually my first attempt would be just 'Edit /old/c/new/', which seems to be doing the wanted, but doesn't scroll either (both in sam and acme). The command 'Edit /old/' by itself scrolls, though... So? Thanks Ruda
