Searching Help for special characters

Hello, and thanks in advance for your assistance.

I'm doing some maintenance and enhancements on a retro-style Notes/Domino application, and need to create a new (traditional) form that will be saved using a $$Return field and a WebQuerySave agent. I'd like to read what the help file says on $$Return fields, but so far I have found it impossible to find the relevant information because "$$" is a special string in Notes and the search won't work.

I've tried enclosing $$Return in quotes (single and double), using field contains, and prefixing the $ characters with \ (just a crazy thought) and nothing has worked. I've also looked in the index and the TOC but there are no direct references to how to use $$Return fields there.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
