Search page 1 for the string, and also try searching for it in reverse
("21AF").  It might be stored in a system variable, so if you don't have any
luck early on, search the whole RAM!

Hmm.  Keep in mind that there aren't any built in functions that input strings;
it might not even be possible.  By inputting strings, I mean with the quotes
around the string.  Try typing the string without quotes as though it were a
program name or something, and then check op1.  But if it works and you don't
get a parsing error, you're limited to eight chars.
