I had trouble getting this to work.

The first issue was SaveWinPosn was not defined.  I found it in cecutil.vba, 
but I don't see this being mentioned as a prerequisite.

Currently it doesn't seem to do anything, but hitting 'n' produces:

E486: Pattern not found: \%(\%>0l\%<34l\)&MYSTRING

(where MYSTRING is what was being searched for and does exist in the current C 
function).
It looks like 34 is the line after what may be considered the first block as 
enclosed by {}, but not the block the cursor is currently sitting.

Is there more magic needed or is my environment conflicting?

Thanks!
