Well I have made good use of the find dialog. I tried to do a search using all 
other to find something in a property (not sure if that would do it) and LC 
locked up most of the way through the search. I waited a minute or two and it 
didn't move so I was forced to force quit. A search specifically for properties 
and/or their contents would be nice. (Except that you can put a STACK in a 
property and how would you search that??)
