Hi everyone,

While you're on this exploration topic, in HyperCard we had a routine with the 
word "snake" in it as I recall. It could be used from the message box and it 
would take you through all of the open stacks, including the stacks in use, and 
the objects within the stacks, one by one, opening any script that contained 
the word or phrase for which you started searching. You could edit the newly 
opened script, close it, and the search would continue until ever instance of 
the word or phrase had been exposed. 

I've not noticed a similar routine in LC. It was my favorite debugging tool. I 
believe it could also be called from within a script. It was absolutely super. 
It may have been an XCMD.

It would be wonderful if we had such a critter in LC.
