Brian,

Although you cannot do this with one command, you can search for the
same text string in as many files as you like, provided that you search
within one application, like key word.  Just in the normal manner, type
the find command and your search string and if you do not find it in the
first file, just open the further document where you want to search for
the same string, go to the top and press the repeat find command, on a
bt it's chord n, [or if you like, space pressed together with n].  The
last string you searched for in that application, will remain valid,
until you press reset, or specifically enter a new search string.  It
seems that keyword and keymail remembers one and the same string, but
keybook remembers, so to speak, its own.

Subject: [Braillenote] Searching across all files

Sorry guys.
I blew the  last message.
Is there away to search for a specific text string across all files? for
instance, you write someone's name and phone number in a file and you
can't remember which of your umteen files you wrote it in, and you are
disorganized anyway!
So,  you search for the person's name across all files or at least
across all the files in a particular   folder.
Brian
