It is worth noting that the @code{nano} replace function is interactive,
i.e. it does not stop after one search string is found and automatically
replace it. The @command{nano} implementation will stop at each search
replace it. The @code{nano} implementation will stop at each search
string found and query whether to replace this instance or not. The
internal spell checker operates similarly. Note that these is no way
to force these functions to behave in the Pico fashion.
