I usually do 3 consecutive FIND's with a reasonable expectation of good
results.

FIND BP PARTS
then
FIND BP WRITE
then
FIND BP 139         or         140

This assumes that the file PARTS isn't passed by an outside process, that
the WRITES aren't performed with an old-school locking subroutine and that
139 or 140 are literal. Plus, theres so many indirect updates with variables
that work but are hard to identify.

This sort of goes back to my earlier request for a file analyzer that
illustrates the READS, WRITES etc.

Good luck.
