"ports”. Now input the f.1 Function Key again and the last line of

consecutive searches easier. Consecutive searching is performed by
the use of the NEXT command in combination with the FIND
command.
Press the Q Key and the last line of your screen will display the
message:
"No match"
This is because the search starts after the letter "p" of the word

positioned at the space just before the word "ports".
Again press the f.1 Function Key. The cursor will move to the
position of the "p" in the word "ports" because it found the string
being searched for in the FIND command.
Now press the f.1 Function Key and the Key simulta¬
neously. The function commands will be displayed on the last line
