FIND allows fairly flexible search of any text file.

To find personnel information (full name, addr., tel., ppn.) about
someone, type:  "FIND [PPN:<cr>", or "FIND Name<cr>".  The CSD
database will be searched, and the information printed.

To find a word or group of words in a file, type:
	"FIND word(s) IN file<cr>".

To find a word in the unabridged dictionary word list containing some
substring (e.g., to check the spelling of the rest of the word):
	"DFIND substring<cr>".

The FIND command has the following syntax:

	FIND[ WITHIN <delim>] <key>[ OMIT[TING] <omits>][ IN <file>]

where <delim> is either a single character or one of the following
words:  MSG LINE PAGE PARAGRAPH GRAF.

FIND<cr> gives a brief summary of some of the hairier features.

If you want fancier searches (searching for multiple keywords, or with
case being important, or ignoring certain characters, etc.), see the
complete documentation in the section on FIND in the printed Monitor
Command Manual, which is online as MONCOM.BH[S,DOC], with updates in
MONCOM.UPD[S,DOC].
