Re: kmacro-end-and-call-macro repeats macro multiple times following isearch-forward

Grrrr! And apologies.

I missed out a step -- calling isearch-forward from within the keyboard macro.  
It should be:

  - C-s   (isearch-forward)   to search for the repeated text
  - C-x (   (kmacro-start-macro)
  - Enter some new text
  - C-s C-s   to search again
  - C-x e  (kmacro-end-and-call-macro)
