They are the same.  Here is the faster way.

1	Apply the Comment condition to an ObnoxiousColour para.

2	Select some characters in the ObnoxiousColour para.

3	Choose Edit > Copy Special > Conditional Text Settings.
 	[Can anybody tell me what the Esc shortcut is for this, similar
 	to Esc e y p to copy para settings, and Esc e y c for char settings?]

4	Choose Edit > Find/Change and set the Find/Change dialogue:
 	Find [Paragraph Tag:] [ObnoxiousColour]
 	Change [By Pasting]

5	Click Change All In: (o) Document.  Voila!

And then there's FrameScript ...
