You might want to have a look at the PointLocator* classes.  As far as 
I remember, only one of those two is really useable, but I can't 
remember which one it was.  You might also want to have a look at the 
MeshFunction class, which I am using quite heavily; it internally uses 
one of the PointLocator classes, and that is, it uses the correct one.

Best Regards,

Tim
