An INIT by the name of Fetch It! will do what you require. Although it won't search for patterns like grep, it does look in files. If you would prefer a DA solution and need pattern and files searchs, then try looking at Gofer. Gofer is a commerical utility written by Microlytics (+1 716 248 9150). Fetch It! is shareware and should be found on any of the information services as well as in your local user group library. Happy New Year! John -- John A.
