Subject: Re: carriage returns in wordstar

Use the "Find and Replace" command; for the "find" string, enter
a ctrl-N; for the "Replace" string, enter a <cr> (or if you want to 
replace the hard carriage return with a blank, enter a space; for 
"Options", enter GN.  Then when Wordstar starts to update the screen, 
hit any key to stop screen updates and speed up the process.  This will 
result in one long line of text, so you will have to re-format after the
replacement is over.  

What I do when I wat to remove hard carriage returns from a text file,
is to invoke the Find and Replace command at the beginning of the 
file, with ctrl-N for the find string, space for the replace string, and 
just a N for the option, then scroll through the file, hitting a
ctrl-L for each carriage return I want to remove (the ctrl-L simply
repeats the last Find and Replace command entered); then at the end
of each paragraph, enter a ctrl-B (re-format) to reformat the paragraph
to your desired margins with soft carriage returns within the paragraph.
