Is there a way to force MEMACS to search for an arbritray ascii character -
like a form feed or a carriage return?  I tried making it search for characters
like \013 or \010 but it does not seem to understand.  I tried \044 (comma),
which displays - so I know what is going on - and it does not find this either.
I tried control-M , but this results in no search.  (I did not surround the 
character numbers or names with any marks, because I did not think it 
necessary. ? )

I would be very appreciative of any advice.
