Yow, can't believe I never noticed that!  I guess I've never had a need before.  Thanks!

If the files are local, and you are a Windows user, Explorer will do this
in 95, 98, ME, NT 4, Win2K and WinXP.  Making it happen in each version is a little
different.  I use this all the time.  It amounts to selecting the "containing text" 
tab, sometimes associated with an "advanced" tab or button.

Mac user?  dunno...
