Hi Pat,

Wen creating a Finder search where you want to find anything using say, the 
word "banana" but to ignore all folders then use:

banana NOT kind:folder

NOT must be in capitals

Cheers,

Stephen

When asked in 1997 what he would do to fix Apple's problems, Michael Dell 
famously told a crowd of IT executives, "What would I do? I'd shut it down and 
give the money back to the shareholders."

By the way Michael, how ARE Dell doing these days? ...
