Erik,

Thanks for looking into this.

On the Mac, the standard key bindings for Find are:
   command-F for find
   command-G for find-next
   shift-command-G for find-prev

On Windows, I don't know...

PS.  While we're on the subject of the report-log/window- I also wish  
players could make comments into that log, during their move.  It  
makes for a more complete game record (since players can annotate  
their moves, in context)- but, moreover, it adds a human touch to the  
game record, and just helps keep pbem games more social/interactive.   
Nothing as complex as an interactive chat window, presence/etc-  
rather, just the ability to annotate the game log with short, textual  
comments (which would be saved in the game file, with the rest of the  
game log).
