Note that Lines 1, 3, 5, and 7 are not displayed because they are
not changed:
To avoid unwanted changes, you can include the? parameter, for
example, type:

Now, whenever Replace finds the and string, you have the oppor-
tunity to accept or reject the change.

after and and or. In the second command with ?R, spaces were
not typed.
