This is one way ("??" is a string which we assume
does NOT exist in the file):
	C/''??
	A/'??
	0FD/ ????
	CA/'??

Regarding "dynamic" file names, you would need to create
the desired command as a line in the buffer, and then
execute it via the "EX" command. So if you changed a line
holding "12/07/00" to "W10 120700.TXT", and then entered
"EX" (when positioned on that line), EDM would write 10
lines to that file (but it WOULD contain the write command
itself - no way around that).
NOTE: I just noticed that "EX" is not listed in EDM_HLP.TXT
(I have now corrected this).
