PB> I go in a message area, press end to go to the last message, then I press 
PB> alt f and write my search text, press enter and nothing runs.

PB> Then I go one message back and search again: It runs backwards, OK.

PB> Next test: I jump to the first message and want search: msged not run's.
PB> Then I go to the next message and start search again: its OK.

PB> Its not 100% so, but in 90% I have this effekts.

PB> I use msged v4.00 16-bit DOS-version and messagebase is squish.

Except for the jump, which I'm not sure about, all of this is correct
behaviour as far as I can see.  It has the ability to search both backwards
and forwards.  If you last travelled backwards, then it will search
backwards.  If you last travelled forwards, then it will search forwards. 
If you are on the last message and the search text is not found in that
message, then it effectively doesn't do anything.  What were you expecting
it to do?  BFN.  Paul.
