Of course...I covered that early in the thread. I'm not the OP, who has been quiet since his original query.

You can also find them using F P'.' (where p'.' is anything not printable). Also note you can use pictorial arguments for CHANGE, such as "C ALL C'AAA' P'=<<' " which should do the same as yours, but may be useful in future.
