This command can be used to find a point in the current CRD file with a certain point number or description. For example, if you entered RAD* the command would plot a preview arrow at all the points that have the letters RAD as part of the description. i.e. RADPT1, RADPT2, RADPT3, etc. This command is not case sensitive (test is considered the same as TEST). Matching points are highlighted on the graphics screen with the preview arrow and listed on the text screen.
