This is another problem that has NOT been solved.
BUT ... I noticed that in MS Word (I DO NOT like MS products and thus 
try to avoid them whenever possible), I can select a backslash
in the text, copy it to the search field -> where it is displayed as the 
YEN sign -> AND perform search and replace.
That works.
The very same thing also works in "Textmaker" (Softmaker product).
It DOES NOT work in a text editor.

Since other softwares are actually able to do this little trick, it 
would be wonderful if someone could work this bit of computer magic.
