Hello Gunter,
This is correct, you cannot perform search and replace operations on
blank lines with QEdit.  We do have another product called The SemWare
Editor, which comes with a macro that will allow you to do what you
want.
/-------------------
|2.Some files I load seem to be too long for Qed, usually around
|400k. With the 'Brief' editor I used before that was never a
|problem. Do I have to take any other measures before I load
|Qedit?
\-------------------
QEdit uses the available conventional memory (ie, the memory below 640K
on your system) for editing files.  The best way to calculate the
largest file you can load, is look at the free memory available from the
DOS command line and subtract 80K for QEdit's overhead.  For example, I
I had the following free memory:
    Memory Type        Total =  Used  +  Free
    ----------------  ------   ------   ------
    Conventional        640K     161K     479K
    Upper               195K     195K       0K
    Adapter RAM/ROM     384K     384K       0K
    Extended (XMS)    15165K   13117K    2048K
    ----------------  ------   ------   ------
    Total memory      16384K   13857K    2527K
    Total under 1 MB    835K     356K     479K
    Largest executable program size       479K  (490576 bytes)
    Largest free upper memory block         0K       (0 bytes)
    The high memory area is available.
I could load a file about 399K in size:
    479K - 80K = 399K
The SemWare Editor (mentioned above) gets around this limitation,
allowing you to edit up to 64meg of files by using conventional memory,
EMS/XMS and disk space to swap the file(s) in and out of memory as
needed.  If you would like some more information on The SemWare Editor,
I would be happy to post some for you.
