Hi from Beautiful Brittany, Thanks to all for your responses, especially to Martin Koob and Klaus Major. I have all I need. I had tinkered with the idea of using AppleScript, but apart from simple scripts, I find AppleScript excessively impenetrable, even after 50 years of programming in many

I use a utility called Alfred on my Mac. I believe it uses Spotlight but I like the user interface. It allows you to search for files whose name contain , and also allows you to search for files whose contents contain . Plus it allows hotkeys for launching apps or files, and a clipboard with
