Then when Wordstar starts to update the screen, hit any key to stop screen updates and speed up the process. This will result in one long line of text, so you will have to re-format after the replacement is over. What I do when I wat to remove hard carriage returns from a text file, is to invoke the Find and Replace command at the beginning of the file, with ctrl-N for the find string, space for the replace string, and just a N for the option, then scroll through the file, hitting a ctrl-L for each carriage return I want to remove (the ctrl-L simply repeats the last Find and Replace command entered); then at the end of each paragraph, enter a ctrl-B (re-format) to reformat the paragraph to your desired margins with soft carriage returns within the paragraph.
