What I meant is that XEDIT has no sequence as simple as:
EXCLUDE ALL
FIND wombat ALL
... looking at the display, I decide I want to see additional
lines, so I:
FIND xyzzy ALL
... now I see the lines containing wombat and/or xyzzy for a
single additional command with a single target. I once wrote
an XEDIT macro to do this, but I believe the supplied ALL XEDIT
doesn't do anything close.
