Well, I can't make heads or tails of that search string, but if it works, it works.

BTW, you don't absolutely need switch /FN and Ascii-11. You can put functions in SEarch and CHange
commands, just as they are; they're treated as strings. For example:

'BXch_|'JM2.blah|'JM2.bleah|'Q2

The only limitation is that if "Q2 " is in the SEarch string, you can't use Q2 to execute
the command; you need the alternate BX usage with parens, brackets or braces. For example, to CHange
"Q2 " to "XC ":

'BX(ch_|'Q2|'XC|)
