I often use the direct Q command multiple times in a row on the same set
of files.
The query-replace "!" command currently does "the right thing" (for the
positive case) when using as part of a Q invocation -- it replaces all
remaining entries in the current file, and then starts prompting again
in the text file.
So perhaps a new query-replace command, like "N" could be added, that
skips the rest of the file, but continues prompting in the next file?
For normal query-replace usage it would be equivalent to "q", but that
seems OK...
