The Search Direction mode

The directions for search and replace operations (p. ) can be set to:

• forward mode (> or $\gg{}$)
• reverse mode (< or $\ll{}$)
• circular mode (either 0 or $\infty{}$)

The forward and reverse modes apply to single and multiple replaces respectively in a search and replace command (see p.  and p. ). The third character indicates which of these options is set.

The Alt-D command and the Alt-E command toggle circularly in opposite directions among the various printer options.

The circular mode is represented either by a zero or an $\infty$ sign, depending on whether the local font has an infinity sign.
