CR is cntrlM and LF is cntrlJ but you can't search for these because they
*ARE* CR and LF not just descriptors.
My editor allows me to enter control characters for search and destroy if
I precede each of them with cntrlP which it does not display.
Then I input the "cntlrM" followed by cntrlP again then the "cntrlJ"
followed by more or [ENTER].
The editor (Sidekick) will have displayed my search string as ^M^J.
BTW, this is the original Wordstar method.
And since Borland copied it, all Borland stuff works the same.
