	--------------
	I've been experimenting with various grep versions
	in alternate DOS/Os2 windows to find text and the
	contexts.
	I could open another 'instance' of XY in OS/2 and do
	that, but what I am looking for is a text engine
	to do that and call up the file, or flag it into
	a list for calling up.
	OS/2 has a seek but there isn't a way I have found
	to associate files with an editor except via *.ext.
	I don't want to make XY the default editor, but would
	like to associate a directory with an editor.
