Edit To Next Improvement

The original version of this routine does not really go to the next matching file although in most cases it has that effect. In reality it starts a new search from the beginning, but since the edited file is now at the end of the file space, the program does seem to go to the next file. However, suppose you were searching for every file containing NEW YORK and as you stepped through them the first 6 such files were okay, but most of the remainder had to be changed. As presently set up you would step through the first 6 and then edit the seventh using the edit to next routine which would then force you to again step through the first 6 files. This can get tiresome. The new version acts similarly to the MIDDLE SEARCH in that it continues from wherever you left off so the first files are avoided.
