There are a small difference in prompt behavior (all replace does
not prompt if I want to go to start and repeat). But that is
pretty subtle. The implementation is very different. eve_global_replace
calls eve_replace with a global variable set to change its behavior.

Maybe eve_global_replace was added with the major EVE rewrite in 5.0
and I kept eve_all_replace when I rewrote from 4.x to 5.x.

Anybody that has a VMS 4.x system and could do:

$ sear sys$examples:eve$edit.tpu eve_global_replace

?
