View Ref-FileThis option can be used to rename any type of symbol.

A symbol is many things:
  label name
  procedure name
  function name (multi-line or single-line DEFFNs)
  variable name of any type
  array variable of any type

Place the cursor on the line containing the symbol you wish to rename. Press
Shift-Control-R and a popup will appear containing all the symbol references
in the line. Click the symbol you wish to rename and a dialog will appear
where you can enter a new name for the symbol.

The new symbol name must meet some criteria:
  must be a unique name
  must adhere to the symbol naming rules for the given type
   (see the GFABASIC manual for detials)
  must not enter a postix (the edtior already knows the correct postfix)

Note: The scope is always global. All reference to the symbol will be renamed
in the entire listing.

If for some reason the editor says the variable already exists, but you can't
seem to find it, then it's probably a dead variable. Use the 'Purge Vars'
option to clean out all the dead variables.
