Finding object by handle number

Does anyone know of a way to search a drawing to find an object by its handle number?

Code:

(handent handle)

Replace the word handle within the above code with the desired handle. You may also want to save it to a variable name using (setq variablename (handent handle))

Thanks for the info and quick response. Do I just type that at the comand line? I tried that and it didn't seem to work for me.

You will mostl ikely need to place the handle within quotes or save it to a variable name first and use the variable.
