If you give the FILES/EXISTS command (or start up Think— Tank and choose EXISTS) and you have a hard disk or more than two floppy disk drives, ThinkTank displays the EXISTING FILE Menu. If you select BROWSE (command key B), ThinkTank checks your disk drives and displays, one by one, the names or titles of the outlines it finds. Press the left and right arrow keys to move from one outline to another, or ESC to return to the EXISTING FILE Menu. When you reach the outline you want, select it by pressing RETURN. You may change data disks at any time during this process.

When you select XCHANGE/BROWSE (command key CTRL—X)in the paragraph editor, ThinkTank prompts you for a search pattern and a replacement pattern, then lets you move to each occurrence and decide whether to replace it. Occurrences must match the search pattern by character and case. Press the left and right arrow keys to move from one occurrence to another, RETURN to make the replacement, or ESC to cancel or conclude the search. You can also give the XCHANGE/BROWSE command by pressing CTRL—Xfrom the Top Level of the paragraph editor.
