I give up: how do you continue a line in Rev?

[Mark Smith]

I think the lesson here is that filtering is only a way of narrowing 
down the actual keywords and function names in the dictionary, or the 
topic titles in the topics section. If you don't know and can't guess 
the keyword or whatever, it's necessary to search, instead.

Cheers,

Mark
