[re: speeding up find and replace in WordStar]

Pressing almost any key (e.g. ctl-E) will turn off screen updating
while doing a find and replace.  This dramatically increases the 
speed, because WordStar otherwise wastes much CPU time providing
a "video show."   This is documented somewhere :-) in the WordStar
manual.
