Every time I type Command-F, Terminal gives the above error.  Other programs,  
specifically Edit, do not complain when executing the same service with a  
selection.  I've also noticed several other services have stopped working in  
Terminal (like Websters and Quotations), but the service-providing app is still  
started after the error message.  The most recent changes were my upgrade to  
System 2.2a and a new version SBook (which I tried removing from /LocalApps to  
no avail).  I've rebooted and power cycled since noticing this without any  
improvement.

Any ideas how to fix this?  I've tried looking through the Defaults under  
Terminal, but nothing looks suspicious.

My services menu in Terminal is as follows (8-space tabs):
Define in Webster	=
Librarian		> Search		F
			  Search in Include
			  Search in ManPages	M
			  Search in NextDev	V
Mail			> Selection
NGService		> Read
Open in Workspace
SBook			> Dial phone
			  Print envelope
			  Send email
Search in Quotations

The version numbers for the custom services I have installed are as follows:
MailHelper 1.1
NGService 1.1
SBook 2.05

I'm running System 2.2a on an 25MHz NeXTdimension.
