RE: [IDE] find documentation function

Hi, Dan,

It looks like your routine does basically exactly what mine does. I 
first search under EUphoria for the files. The user can also use a menu 
item to use open file dialog. Some users have their files on a CD or 
alternate drive so be sure your routine can get to those.

However, if your method works better, I don't mind looking at it. If it 
would be easier just point me to where I can pick up your routines.

Thanks,

Judith
