hmmm, interesting approach daniel! thanks for this. again, my while loop
understanding/usage is quite poor at this point, but I can see this could
work as well, then your cursor would also be positioned on the word when the
correct match was found, which might well do better than the FindString from
the top of the wohle window. sepcially if you know or suspect there may be
other occurrances of the text somewhere in the window that it might stop at
instead! and then et everything wrong.
So, thanks for the Idea. I also want to try another script'ers suggestion of
S_Next in the FindString command, but was unclear whether that would just
stop at the one movement of this, or whether in FindString, it would keep
moving to s_next, until it found the word, similar to how FindString s_Top
does for the whole window.

So, gotta try both these tomorrow and see which one works bestest.
again thanks for the suggestions everyone!
