I used the keyboard entry to enter a number 6 and a period to search for = the sixth item in a text file which began with 6. It stopped at the = first occurrence, which was sentence which ended with the year 1996. = When I repeatedly hit the 7-9 combination, it wouldn't go past the same = entry, forcing me to manually skip it to find my entry. Is there a = reason it stuck on the 1996. Thanks. Don
