A wide variety of final states are explored in the baryon exchange reactions ..pi../sup -/d ..-->.. (p/sub s/) X/sup - -//sub forward/ and ..pi../sup -/d ..-->.. (n/sub s/) X/sup -/p/sub forward/, with a sensitivity of 240 events per microbarn per nucleon. We find no statistically significant evidence for charge -2 exotic mesons or any other new structure over a mass range extending from below the nucleon-antinucleon threshold to about 3.2 GeV.
