Thank you, works fine, as well as Control-R now.

Does this not fulfill the request for a search function?
Maybe it could be bound to some "Find" key, like Ctrl-Shift-F (Ctrl-F is 
taken).

I'm working on a patch to pcb.texi now to address some documentation issues, I 
added appendix-C showing how to use the Regular Expressions as an element 
search function. 

The one thing I need to know before I submit the patch is what the correct 
method of creating a newlib style SMT footprint is, what is in pcb.texi now 
does not work if you follow it verbatim.
