I'm a Code/400 guy, so I click on the source window (hate the mouse - can't
I F6 or something to move between panes?), press the escape key (to get to
the command line) and type 'find emphasis match Elapsed[a-z]' and get a
message that 'FIND' is not a command.  Oh, no.  The commands are different.

Yes, find is now findText, match is regularExpression. More keys to type, I'm afraid... Strongly recommend the find dialog, or /text on the command line for simple searches.

As for help: "help findText" (as an example) from the LPEX command line.

Is there a cross-reference from Code to jLpex commands anywhere?  I use the
command line A LOT.  A simpler findText works, but ctrl-n (for next) does
not.  Waaaah!

Underlying Eclipse steals Ctrl+N (and other keys). In Eclipse R2.1 (upcoming), which has a new key-binding mechanism in place, LPEX steals the Ctrl+N (and its other keys) back...

If you use the find dialog, another Ctrl+F (when the dialog is up already) will do a find next. Or you can bind another available key to the findNext action.
