737 FMC Hidden Page (Nearest Airport)

Hi Guys,

Recently bought a copy of the excellent 737 MRG by Pat Boone. In the book it makes reference to the hidden nearest airport page in the FMC with the following instructions on how to access it:
  • First set both CDUs to RTE then OFFSET
  • Secondly in one of the CDUs now type of OFFSET of 'L1.0'
  • Finally simultaneously click ERASE on both CDUs at the same time and the page should appear.
Anyway I tried this the other day during a long flight and couldn't seem to get it to work. Does anyone know if I've missed a step? or am not doing it correctly? or if this particular trick has now been found out and is no longer workable?

Not sure if it's important but the aircraft in question I tried this on was a B737-500 with U10.7 software installed.

Would be a 'nice to have' function on my future flights from now on if I could get this feature to work so anyones help would be much appreciated
