Hello Gordon, Here's how to use the Find command.
Press Cmd-f then type your string. Press Return followed by Escape. The first instance of the string will be highlighted and pressing either left or right arrow will unhighlight it but you'll be on it. Cmd-g will find the next instance of the string.
