Howdy,

One more thing... if the OgreKit Find Panel does appear and you can fill in the Find Pane but it doesn't find what you expect please remember that because the OgreKit Find Panel accepts regular expressions (regex) there are certain characters that need to be `quoted' (preceded by \) or they take their special meaning.

Good Luck,
