Yes, of course. I tried that yesterday but pressed help too late, that is, 
after pressing CR for starting the change. At this point, "Help" is on ^G 
and shows nothing about what to enter. My fault, and an idiotic one.

The existence of the cited web page made me think that the remaining 
information is on a web page as well. And once starting the search means 
there are easily hours spent without finding anything. And the obvious is 
no longer on the screen.

Thanks for your help!
