Again, thanks everyone. I am pretty good at munching data. I missed a syntax construct.
I play scrabble seriously. Driving home from work each day I amuse myself by taking the three letter combinations from passing license plates and making words with minimum chars. So if I see "rbd", I know I can make "bard" or "brad", both better than "beard". If I see "cwm" I know I need do nothing, since that is already a word. Yesterday I saw "czk". I knew "zincked", and wondered what it would take to write a program to find all words that contain those three letters. With the "filter command now working, it takes three lines of code, plus four more for input/output of the data. I love LC.

From the docs: "Filters each line in a container, removing the lines that do or don't match a pattern." What were you hoping to get?
