Does anybody have a lisp function to do the lookup for a file in a 
list of directories.

I have a list of directories ("dir1" "dir2" ...) and I would like to 
find if a file xyz.u exists in one of these directories.  Something 
like the unix command `which'.

Is there a builtin function for doing it ?

Thanks,
Minh Tran-Le.
