    Title: "Document Search"
    Date: 12-Aug-2006
    Name: 'document-search
    File: %document-search.r
    Version: 1.0.0
    Author: "rwvd.Zee"
    Purpose: "Users may open a directory, search files for a phrase, and then review documents in a browser."
    Note: {
        - no error checking
        - maybe useful for searching the manual and, with some minor changes, a directory of library scripts
        - works with some linux distributions
        - Windows  users might change the line  "call [firefox found.html]"
                                            to         "browse %found.html"
          and may also have to supply the path the searched directory
          
        - the script reads all files in a chosen directory
        - if the search string is found in a document, the title of
          the document is added to the html page
        - the browser is called to review the documents
        
    }
