Thanks Ken; works well now.

My only other thing to wrap up is the progress indication; with the old
(slow) line-by-line scheme, it was easy to show gradual percentage
complete
progress completion; with the new scheme, it's a little different /
difficult to show % completion. I've resorted to putting up a status label
indicating the string being searched for. Any other ideas?

Thanks.

Well... there's always the Animation control <g> When I have no way of
predicting the 'end of process', I grab the animation control and show a bit
of animation for the user to watch while the app's crunching away. Windows
does it all the time (file copy/move to recycle bin/etc) and even though
they do have an "remaining time" and a progress bar showing, it is never,
ever accurate <g> I've seen that "remaining time" indicator tell me it would
take 300+ days (no joke) to copy a file... then a split second later, it'll
say "2 seconds left" <g> It's almost comical.
