I can't say I'm a grep whiz but I don't think it will do what I'm looking for. For example if I'm looking for a certain word in a long text file, the file is loaded in an xterm window, will grep find the word and place it in front of me highlighted? In windows I hit "ctrl+f", I get a pop up that allows me to enter a word, search for the word up or down and the program places it in my view. Kent
