Okay, I'm in a directory called NYT. On the command line
I type sse /wolf/. The first response is the no
memory note, and then within a few seconds the program kicks
in and does its thing.

If you mean typing sweep /wolf/, there is no error message.
In fact, the command just disapppears and nothing at all
happens until I try to type something else on the command
line, at which point I am instructed to type C. C lands me
on the names of the *files* in all the subdirectories where
wolf appears (I assume), but does not open those files. It
also controls the command line until it is finished.

If you have a different command in mind, lemme know and I'll
give it a whirl.

Well, yeah. I had to do something to keep myself
entertained. But seriously, the parent directory is 5 years
old and there's a Bob Wolfe who's been in there from Day 1,
and Wolf kitchen appliances comes and goes.

Actually, "estimable, dis" is enough, at least for Wolf. At
this point, we could turn sse /term/ into a
how-many-beans-in-the-jar game.

Anything is a small price to keep me out of the search
procedure in Windows Explorer.

Robert's func BK suggestion is interesting. I could swear I
ran across something in some other connection in U2 that
recommended putting func BK on the ctrl+break key, but I
can't find it again. Anyway, is that the best place for it?

And is v113 really going to tackle the s issssssssue?

Thanks again and again
