Yep, line mode. If you do a find and get no hits you're at the
bottom.
That is one of the dumbest, most hostile behaviors I have ever
seen in
an editor (but TSO edit isn't unique here). If I do a find and
get no
hits (very possibly because I mistyped the search target) a well-
behaved editor should leave the file position unchanged.
I disagree and I did live with it for several years and learned to
like it. When we got FSE it was like heaven.
OK. Please explain why it's useful, or beneficial. Does it save
time,
or keystrokes, or ???. Would you prefer it if ISPF Edit had that
behavior?
(One thing I like about ISPF Edit (almost unique) it that you must
issue the Repeat Find command twice to wrap the bottom or top
of the file. I wrote an XEDIT macro to simulate that behavior.)
