To search for text on the script editor screen
1. From the script editor screen, press 6(g)4(SEARCH).
2. On the screen that appears, enter the character string you want to search for and then
press w.
This starts searching from the top of the py script, and moves the cursor to the left of the
first character of the first matching character string that is found. If there is no matching
character string found, the message “Not Found” will appear. If this happens, press J.
To resume the search using the same character string, press 1(SEARCH).
You will be able to resume a search operation only while “SEARCH” is shown for the 1
function menu key, which indicates that there is at least one other matching character
strings in the script. To cancel a search operation part way through, press J. The
search operation will end automatically if there are no more matches to the text string you
specified.

This causes the selected range to become highlighted.
It makes no difference whether you select from the beginning to the end of a range, or
from the end to the beginning.
3. Press 1(COPY) or 2(CUT).
