I agree, keep it simple

If the line is :

A1234567xMVCxxxFOO,BARxxxxxxxxxxxMOVExxxTOxxxxFOO

and   c/FOO/ZOPPER/  is entered,  I would expect to see :

A1234567xMVCxxxZOPPER,BARxxxxxxxxxxxMOVExxxTOxxxxFOO

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
                                                   All these blanks
remain the same that they were

If a C/short/VeryLongStringToReplaceThePreviousShortString/

is entered, and that results in comments .. whatever getting shifted
past col 72 (or prefereably the editor TRUNC setting ( :) ), then the
line is truncated.

Trying to auto-wrap .. auto format is of course possible (what isn't ?
;)),  but needlessly complex

Yes, another good, simple solution :)

Dunno what "zone" does, will have to look up the Xedit commands.
