~I have found that the built-in Find Objects is one of *the* worst parts of the
~WPS.  I can't understand why it is even there, because if *anybody* on the WPS
~programming team had tried to use it, they would've dropped it straight away.
~
~One of the *easiest* ways to bring your system to a totally unusable state can
~be done with three left-clicks:
~
~	left-click Find Objects,
~	left-click Save Results check-box
~	left-click Find button
~
~Go on, try it.  I urge *everybody* to try this and see what happens.

I was having problems with FIND even installing Merlin.  Appears that Merlin
had a problem with my Neologic News subdirectory on one of my HPFS partitions.
It would go to my \Neologic\news\xxx.xxx.xxx subdirectory and hang.  I later
ran chkdsk on that drive and chkdsk found problems that Warp 3.X never seen.
Anyway, after chkdsk did its stuff FIND worked again.
