Do you know any other editors that work that way? All is All in every editor I know.
For partial file replacements, there should be an option to replace in the current selection.
The user should be able to select from the cursor to the end of file then replace all in the selection.

EditPlus's "Replace All" only acts from the cursor. BC2, UltraEdit, Delphi and HomeSite also act from the cursor unless you change an option. In BC3, we've simplified the find/replace dialog by getting rid of these more obscure options. Perhaps we'll reconsider for a future version.
Thanks for the list, Erik. I don't have my licensed version of UltraEdit installed right now, so I was unable to check there.
Just for the record, no Microsoft products I know starts a Replace All from the cursor position. This includes all Microsoft Office and Microsoft Visual Studio products.
The fuctionality feels wrong to me on a Microsoft platform. I think I've performed a global replacement, but the find string remains intact in parts of the file. Could I convice you to add a "Always wrap on Replace All operations" to the tweaks dialog?

"Replace All is from top of file" tweak works great! Thanks! I was pleased to see that the cursor position is still retained after the replace all. Thanks again!
