I just tried it (under 10.5.6). Finder Find works okay but it doesn't find Hidden files. When you say you get nothing, what does that mean? Pressing Command-F doesn't bring up the Find Window or you it doesn't find files? You could always use the shell find command. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
