! I belive I may have found a bug in Find() when going across multiple 
! files. In order to see this bug do the following:
! 
! 1. Create 3 files (e32 f1 f2 f3). 
! 2. Enter the word "hello" in each file.
! 3. Now do a find on "ll". Specify "ga" as the find options.
! 4. Once it finds the first one, keep doing RepeatFind() 
!    (Find/Again).
! 
! Notice how it keeps cycling thru all the files. IMHO, I find this to
! be a bug. Once it gets back to the first file, shouldn't it display a
! message that it can't find anymore? Am I whacked or what?
Or what .
Each find is conducted independently. Each repeat find is also
conducted independently except for picking up string and options from
the last find(). Because of the independence, each find simply ...
finds.
