Ah, that seems very intelligent. What I did not know was the two lines:

> Set Text Color $color
I will try to put this in a macro (perhaps after some time, because I am just now terribly busy...). If I can get something working, I will let you know.

Yes, but the search with the Find box being interactive, it has often a flexibility that automatic search would not have...

Yes, certainly.

I did not know that at all. In fact, I have not payed enough attention to these small icons at the bottom of the window. I will try to have better look at them.
Thank you very much again!
