10.0;abrt (abort) *DM*, revision 1.0, 88/03/09
abrt (abort) - abort text search; cancel any action involving echo
usage



DESCRIPTION
     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 DM returns the message
     "Search aborted."  It does not move the window.  Note that you must use a
     key already defined as "abrt" if you want to abort a search; typing abrt
     in the DM command-input window during a search does not work.

     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 you
     use echo.
