How about trying:   	grep arch4 *
                                grep arch4 /*
                                grep arch4 /*/*
                                etc. etc.

I'm just learning about grep but this seems to work for me.
Thanks!

it only searches the root and nothing below that. I tried
grep "arch4" /*
/*/* /*/*/* /*/*/*/*
ant it stopped with an error arguments two long or
something.

I was hoping to find the deffinition files that have the
size and pixel
lenth of the printer page layoust so I could change them to
a custom setting.

Check with
