DM COMMANDS

8.0;abrt (abort) *DM*, revision 8.0, 84/03/13
ABRT (ABORT) -- Abort text search; cancel any action involving ECHO
usage:  CTRL/X


FORMAT

  ABRT (CTRL/X)


  The  ABRT  command  aborts a text search, and cancels any action involving the
  ECHO command.

  When you use ABRT to abort the current search, the Display Manager returns the
  message "Search aborted."  It does not move the window.  Note that you  cannot
  type this command during a search.

  When  you  use ABRT to abort the ECHO command, ABRT cancels a move window with
  rubberbanding or grow window with  rubberbanding  operation;  or,  it  cancels
  highlighting for a defined range of text, depending on how ECHO was used.

  CTRL/X issues this command by default.
