COMMENT Change will change the subtext TOLD in MASTER - if
found when searching from MASTER.POS and on - to TNEW.
If TOLD.Length >= TNEW.Length then MASTER will denote
a subtext of the original MASTER text, otherwise MASTER will
denote a new text object.

Thus, if TOLD is NOTEXT, TNEW will be inserted before actual Pos.
If TNEW is NOTEXT, the TOLD part found after Pos will be deleted.
If MASTER is NOTEXT, no change will ever occur.

Changing all occurrencies of TOLD to TNEW may
be done with the following procedure:

! PROCEDURE edit(master,told,tnew);
! NAME master;
! TEXT master,told,tnew;
! BEGIN  TEXT local;
!    local:- master;
!    WHILE local.More DO change(local,told,tnew);
!    master:- local
! END of edit;

BOOLEAN PROCEDURE change(master,told,tnew);   NAME master;
TEXT master,told,tnew;
BEGIN   TEXT local;   INTEGER p;
    local:- master;
    p:= search(local,told);
    IF p <= local.Length THEN
    BEGIN   change:= TRUE;
	IF told.Length >= tnew.Length THEN
	BEGIN   local.Sub(p,tnew.Length):= tnew;
	    IF told.Length > tnew.Length THEN
	    BEGIN
		from(local,p+tnew.Length):= from(local,p+told.Length);
		local:- local.Sub(1,local.Length-told.Length+tnew.Length)
	    END
	END ELSE
	local:- conc(upto(local,p),tnew,from(local,p+told.Length));
	local.Setpos(p+tnew.Length);   master:- local
    END ELSE master.Setpos(0);
END of change;
