as a file pager:
  mtr  file1 file2... - "regex"       # pattern to locate

as a grep search tool:
  mtr -ro# afn1 - "reg\.exp"          # -Recurse, number lines to stdout

as a replacement tool:
  mtr afn1 afn2... - "find" = "repl"  # prompted replace in pager
  mtr -nr afn1 ... - "find" = "repl"  # -No prompt, -Recurse, change files
  mtr -no+ file1   - "find" = "repl"  # -o+ = send results to stdout (sed)
