Add command to limit find/change/exclude commands to specific vertical range

It is possible to limit both the "width" and "depth" of the ISPF editor F(ind), C(jange) and (e)X(clude) commands, by specifying bounds and labels.

Of these two, the bounds ("width") can be set using the "BOUNDS" primary and/or "BNDS" line commands, and once set it will remain in force until changed.

However, there is no mechanism to limit the operation of the above commands for a "depth" range, other than to specify the line-labels on which the commands need to operate again and again, or eXclude all lines not of interest and use the NX operand of the above commands.

What is proposed is that an additional Edit/View command is added that allows the user to set the vertical bounds to two user-defined labels, as in "VB(ound) .a .b". All subsequent Find. Change. and eXclude commands would then be limited to operating on just the lines between inclusive the .A and .B labels, without the user having to respecify them over and over again.

A "VB(ound) RES(et)" would reset this mode, as would the "RES(et) LAB(el)" command, or even the "RES(et)" command all by itself.
