Um............how about we forget what I wrote. Sorry I've got a lot of
stuff buzzing aroudn right now so I've gotten sidetracked. What I mean is,
if the user enters "e" and Euphoria find()'s "e" in "beet", there are 2.
What happens then? Does Euphoria give you the placement of the first "e".

Sorry for the confusion...
