Last year I modified/enhanced the VEDIT standard macro SRCHINCR.VDM
{SEARCH, Incremental search}

Due to time limitations those days it never finally got ready.

Now I finished it, but it needs some testers.


Here are the changes (additionally to the internal/technical ones):

- show the current line number at prompt
- highlight cursor line while searching

- when on a found string optionally position the cursor at
- the same vert. position in window like the original cursor pos.
- the vertical middle of the window
- a free fixed value
- no special positioning (disable feature)

- new keys [PgUp]/[PgDown] to continue search at BoF / EoF (REVERSE)
- new keys [Up]/[Down] to toggle search direction + continue search
- new key [Del] to reset search string+history; goto Begin_of_Search

To replace the original macro (and menu command) simply save the macro
with the original name in the "user-mac" directory.

I have simply replaced the old macro with your new one, as it is better in every regard. Thank you for the improvements.
