- ACCENTED CHARACTERS:
- Itamar pointed out to me that Orbis search window does accept
- accented characters through this method:
- - insert the plain character
- - press F6
- - press the mnemonic for the type of accent you want
- (such as u for umlaut, c for circumflex, r for scandinavian ring).
- This is clumsy compared with entering the character pressing the
- key that is dedicated to it (and clumsier than the alt-? method)
- but evidently allows Boolean searches (if I only knew what is NOT
- in an Orbis search string!)
-
- TRANSFER OF FOUND ITEM
- Itamar, you can use the normal DEFINE commands to set apart the
- text you want to bring back to your edit window, then move
- to that window (at least Alternate Window works) and copy it.
