Thank you.
Looks like I am going to have to look them up one at a time.
Just because you get to a specific place on a page by typing something
into the search box doesn't mean you can't scroll up and down on the
page anyway. You can do the same from +& and see the other operators, too.
Hi Trey,
That page only give me one page and nothing to scroll up or down on.
But, now that I know what to look for, I will find the rest, so
no one offer additional help, unless they just want to.
My goal is to write up a Keeper file for this. I will post it
back on this thread when I finish.
