how about 
if Stringcontains (GetLine(), "Search string") then 
   do something 
else 
while loop with nextLine () and similar if as above.  Making sure to
exit the loop when found You might also include the isKeyWaiting()
function in the while loop. 

The lloop might look something like 
while (not Stringcontains (GetLine(), "Search string") && not
IsKeyWaiting())
NextLine ()
EndWhile

Guys, is there a way2, there must be surely, to do a FindString in a
given 
area, in this case, along a line, rather than have to use the large and

clunky, FindString s_top s_Restricted whole deal, where it starts from
top 
of whole window and looks all over?
I wish to just do it more specificly in a certain area/along a given
line 
etc, in order to be more elegant and not risk finding the wrong
occurrance 
of the string. There must be some function to do it, but I just can't
think 
of it right now. any takers?

thanks.
