Hmm, I see you have a point! But I am just used to consider "$0" and "$1, $2 ... $n" different/separate things, being "$0" solely a locality sintax. Putting them as separate concepts I see "$1, $2 ... $n" as two different things wether in messages or objects, and that "$0" is just useless in messages. Anyway, I am cool with what needs to be done in order to put "$0" in messages, I still think it's a bit of an unnecessary hassle, but it ain't that much of a big deal after all. The thing that had no other way around was using the Find feature to actually find them, so I thought about bringing this all up: the hassle and the problem. I now see that uncheking "whole word" in the new version is just another "way around" rather than actually getting the Find feature to look for "$0", or even for the window number once we explicitly tell it which one it is. So, nerverminding about "$0" in messages, I would still make a point here for the Find feature to be able to find "$0", I hope it isn't much hassle getting it to do so. Thanks a bunch folks!
