Tonight I pulled out my Wordstar for the 1001th time to edit a huge makefile.
I discovered that I had to make a massive find and replace. I went through
the ^Q^A sequence and it started to replace. I was about to go watch TV
while it did its thing (Wordstar's normal find and replace is very very very
slow...) for about an hour. I was suddenly curious as to what would happen if
I pressed the 1 key. Well I did and voila! the normal find and replace 
sequence which would have taken an hour zapped through in a few minutes. I
was amazed. Having used Wordstar for 6 years I felt rather silly. I can't
find this in the documentation. Is this feature documented. I know that you
can use the 1 key in a ^Q^Q sequence.
