no good deed

I've been following the discussion here about folks lamenting the absence of the SEEK statement when using UltraEdit, or any other text editing program. Packaged editors don't understand MTB's INCLUDE or USE statements.
I once-upon-a-time wrote a tool to fill that void and I thought I'd share it. No good deed goes unpunished. I can't make the damn thing work and it did once.
It's called, would you believe(?), SEEK. You run it from the READY and pass it the name of the source you want searched.
READY:: SEEK "testpgm.ibs"
When I try it, it crashes with QTESTPGM.IBS as the File Not Found in the open. Where the unwanted Q comes from, I have no clue. I'm running 2011,459.
When I code it to ignore the open error it comes to a print with my fav's -- (MC) & (RC). They don't work!!
If any one wants to look at it, I'd be grateful.
