Well the answer for Edit is simple.  If you hold down the Command (cloverleaf)
key while typing Tab or Return into a Find window, you get a box (undefined
character symbol) which will work for searching for the appropriate control
character.  For MacWrite, something along these lines works: copy a Tab from
the text, paste it into the Find or Change window.

What I would not give for 'vi' style regular expressions, or even a mac 'sed'!
