More good questions!  You're on a roll.

As some TV commercial said, "It's in there."  From tkemc you get to it
with the file menu.  There is find, replace, and renumber functions as
well as feeds and speeds iunder scripts. You would be welcome to write up
scripts that you commonly use for coding and include them with the release.

The xemc editor is not quite as capable but it is there as well.  Both
allow a restart from any line that you choose.
