Glenn Cole compares:

<</set short;w;fq "STRING";l>> with the list command in Qedit. A shorter form of this
command would be:

   /set short;w flag;l "STRING"

This can be encapsulated in the following USE file:

   Q "Enter string without quotes"
   Z::=
   SET SHORT
   SET TIME=500
   FINDQ FIRST
   WHILE FLAG
   LIST "Z::"
   SET TIME=50
   SET LONG

It is necessary to type only /U F and then enter the string without quotes.

A variation on the above might be to prompt for a starting line to search from some
point in the middle of the file to the end.

Does Qedit have any looping ability (/WHILE of Edit3000)?
