There is a good reason for wanting to return to the last position before a
single Find or Replace: imagine you're happily typing away and suddenly you
remember something somewhere else in the document and you want to look it up or
fix it right away, and go on where you left afterwards. If you want to do that
easily now, you have to type for instance "qqq", do the Find, then Find "qqq" to
return. That's rather a lot of work. j/k
I can think of an easy way to add an option for returning the user to the last
cursor position after a Find/Replace (but not after Find all) as follows:

As soon as the Find/Replace is invoked by the user, save the cursor location.
Execute any commands by the user. When the dialog box is closed or the user
mouse-clicks in the text area, display a dialog box asking the user to be
returned to the last cursor location before the Find/Replace. You can skip that
dialog box after a Replace All.

Another idea (for use by hardcore people) would be the bookmarks introduced in,
IIRC, Wordstar, I've only seen it in Turbo Pascal 6, and I seldom used them, but
you could define up to something like ten bookmarks and then go to bookmark #n
by a simple keyboard shortcut, which I don't remember :).

Hope this helps.
