 A quoted string specifies a single line that contains the  specified
 string. You can enclose the string in either single or double quotation
 marks (' or ").  When you use a string as a range, EDT will search
 forward, starting with the current line, until it locates a line with
 the specified string.  If a minus sign (-) precedes the string, the
 search will be backward.

 Ex: TYPE 'abc'  Locate and display the first line forward that contains
                 the string 'abc'.

     TYPE -"abc" Same, except the search will be backward.
