For example, you can type in "ABE::US US US US" in the "from" box and "LON::US US US US" in the "to" box. This will try to find the cheapest itinerary with four USAir flights in each direction [for the default dates in April right now, the best solution is $489].
This removes a lot of pain in finding interesting MRs.
Edited to note that the search is for USAir flights

I've tried the ITA software search just like you said, even with the two colons, but it's not working, are there any space between the city name and airline code? is it ABE::USUSUS, or ABE:: us us us ?
