[WDSCI-L] RE: Shift+F4 "Find next" broken in LPEX editor

[craigs@xxxxxxxxx]

Thanks Rick!  The shift+F2 worked.  I am a little confused about all these
key mappings.  They just don't make any sense to me.  On the "Source" drop
down menu, it says shift+F4 is "Prompt" and also "Find Next" is shift+F4
except in the "Find" dialog.  F4 is "Prompt" as well.  It seems they could
have made F4 be "Prompt" only and shift+F4 "Find Next" only.  Furthermore,
ctrl+F could be "Find" only instead of shift+F2 as well.  I think that
would free up more mappings for more options and make it a little easier on
us.  Just make it like the mappings in CODE although I am not sure why CODE
mapped shift+F2 and ctrl+F to the same function.

Define the search string first with shift+f2.  I have had the same
experience and discovered that if you use shift+f2 for the first search
shift+f4 works fine.  Otherwise I get a source line prompt.
