What is up with the 'FIND' function?

Hey,

I'm trying to get the 'FIND' function to use properly, but I just don't 
get it to work the way I want it to.

I have a string called zALPHA, containing all the letters in both upper
and lower case;

constant zALPHA = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"

Further, I have a sequence - 'eRevision' - which contains a letter in the
above range (Hence, the eRevision is of length 1, but still a sequence.).

Lets say the eRevision sequence contains 'c', I'd think that the following
function should return '3', but it returns '0' (Zero);

eFindResult = find(eRevision, zALPHA)

..while THIS function returns the correct number;

EFindResult = find(eRevision[1], zALPHA)

Could someone please explain this to me?
