To search for more than one string at a time, separate the search
strings with the "|" symbol for OR mode, the "&" symbol for AND mode.
Soundex searching is requested by proceeding a search string with an
apersand "&". The soundexing algorithm is very "loose", so soundexing
should be used only on longer words (not OS/2, but Windows will work
nicely). See the manual and/or read.me for more advanced options.
Example: CTOS | ("&windows" & OS/2)
will find all messages containing either the text "CTOS" OR the string
"OS/2" AND anything that "sounds like" windows ("windoze" will match).

after this screen is dismissed.
More importantly, MR/2 has detected the presence of an Internal Editor
"work" file. This usually means that, for whatever reason, MR/2 was
terminated while inside the internal editor, and this work was not
saved to disk. MR/2 may be able to recover some of this text ...
The file EDITOR$$.TXT has been created in your work directory. This
contains as much of your work-in-progress text that MR/2 was able to
recover. If you feel that this work may be valuable, please check the
contents of this file and act appropriately. MAKE SURE YOU CHOOSE TO
CONTINUE THE PREVIOUS SESSION. Otherwise, the recovered text will be
removed with the rest of the work directory contents.
