At least it's documented in VFP 7 for the listbox but I couldn't find it in VFP 6 help. BTW, did you know that can search for special characters, using following C language representations in the text boxes in the Find dialog box?

Enter                \r 
Tab                  \t 
Backslash            \\ 
New line (line feed) \n
