Hi,

Sorry, I have not been following much of the discussions here lately, but I'm 
surprised this one doesn't seem to have been definitely addressed yet.  OK, the 
command to find the next occurrence of a search string in a document (SPACE 
with N or READ with N) has been around and correctly documented before version 
5.  This is why many of the umm, long-time users? (I wouldn't want to say "old" 
as in versus "new" users, and get killed for it) like Rose Combs remember 
learning about it from the manual.  In the v4.01 User's Guide, it is found in 
section 3.15.1, "Searching Forward".  Towards the end of that section, one 
would read:

"If you want to carry on searching forward for the next occurrence of the same 
text, press SPACE with N (or READ with N in the BNQT v4.01 manual)."

The command was again mentioned in section 7.20.4 (or section 7.19.3 for the QT 
manual), "Insertion by Name" where one can use this to search for a character 
in the Unicode table by entering the character's name or part of it.  As Laura 
has pointed out, it can also be found in the Command Summary, specifically in 
section 15.2.2, "Other Review Commands".  However, in the version 5.0 manual, 
someone made a boo-boo in section 3.15.1, because instead of giving the command 
as SPACE with N (I cannot verify with the QT v5.0 manual), it said, "...press 
SPACE with F, then F and ENTER".  The command is still correctly mentioned in 
sections 7.20.4 and 15.2.2.  Moreover, just to clarify, in v5.0 and earlier 
versions, this command can be learned from the context-sensitive help.  Within 
a document, press SPACE with H (HELP KEY), and then Y to enter the Keyword Help 
Menu.  You have a list of four sub-topics there.  Type R to select the second 
item, "Review Commands".  The fifth command ther
 e is: "To find the next occurrence of the last search string, press SPACE with 
N (READ with N)."

Lastly, to answer Steve's question as to what other commands are not 
documented, there are quite a number, I'm afraid.  The one that's related to 
the Find option is SPACE with dots 3-5-6 (CTRL with BACKSPACE) which clears the 
search string (or replacement string), something that was not available in 
earlier versions.  Thus, you can easily delete extraneous characters or words 
in a document that appear repeatedly using this command in the replacement 
string prompt.  If anyone wants a more complete, although I cannot claim that 
it's 100% complete and error-free (particularly for the QT commands because I'm 
really a BT user, although I do make corrections when I learn or get informed 
about any), you can e-mail me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] for the consolidated BT and 
QT Command Summary I have created, where I added the undocumented commands I 
found, and the commands that were given in the v3.07 and v4.01 Readme files but 
were not included in the latest version of the User's Guide.  
 Please do not ask me to post it to the list because it's a long file, longer 
than the regular command summary file you have because remember, it contains 
two sets of commands plus undocumented ones.  If you ask nicely enough, I'll 
give it for free, except if you're from PDI, in which case I might consider 
selling it, LOL!

BTW, Laura, I'll send you a more complete and corrected version of that 
consolidated command summary because I have added a few more to the one I first 
sent you.  As for Don Bishop and Sharon Hewing, you got the updated one already 
so don't sweat.  Thanks.

HTH,
Roselle
