Hello,

Yes, I tried specifying '&lt;' rather than '<' in the search string.  The result of this was, however, that it seemed to look for a literal & then l then t then ;, not <.

Thanks,
   Brian Young

Just taking a guess here...
Did you try &lt; for less than and
&gt; for greater than?

Good luck!
