Move the insertion point to the very beginning of the program. Choose Find Again. True
BASIC will find the READ statement now, because you started the search at the very beginning
of the program.
Changing Text. The Change command lets you change all occurrences of a word or number
to a different word or number. Choose Change... from the Edit menu. Type the word
music$ in the first line, and the word notes$ in the second line. Now click on the Replace All
button.
Look at the READ and PLAY statements, and you’ll see that the variable names have
changed.
The Change command works over the entire contents of the Source Window. Otherwise,
the Change command works like the Find command. You can make it case sensitive. And
you can have it apply only to entire words and not parts of words.
Keep and Include
The next two commands in the Edit menu will become useful as you begin to work with larger
programs.
If you want to remove all but one section of a program, use the Keep command. Select the
part you want to keep and then choose Keep from the Edit menu. True BASIC will delete
everything in your program except the selected text. True BASIC will also change the name
of what is left to "Untitled ?" to prevent your accidentally saving it over the original file.
The Include command lets you add the contents of another file to your program. Put the
insertion point at the place where you wish to add the new file and select Include from the
Edit menu. You’ll get a dialog box where you can specify any existing file in any directory
