Subject: [9fans] Look vs. Edit?

Hi folks,

Does the Look command offer any functionality
over the Edit command when it comes to searching
a document?  The man page indicates it's just a
literal search command, and it seems as though the
Edit command allows for that and much more.

I'm curious about the decision to automatically
embed Look in the tag of windows instead of
Edit....


Jim
