   Get a list of all files (with full pathname) on the server. Then put the
list into your HC stack and write some lines of HyperTalk to search for all
occurences of the searchstring in the list.

  You will need a CopyFileXFCN. You could also use MountUnmountXCMD to mount
and unmount the server within your script.

  I think that several disklibrarian programs could generate this sort of
lists. I assume that the there are not so much changements on the server, so
you only need to update the list every two weeks or something like that.
