It wasn't my intention to press strongly for placing the key words in help 
files.  And whether in the header of the ado-file, itself, or in its .pkg file 
would be decided technically, based upon what StataCorp is able and willing to 
do with -findit-.

It seems that the natural place would be in the .pkg file, from what Kit 
mentions where -findit- looks for things.  In that case, for ado-files destined 
solely for internal use, one answer would be to create a template-based, 
no-frills .pkg file for each (or for each cumulating group of ado-files related 
to a type of task, updating the .pkg as you go along) that will need to be 
found again in the future by -findit-.
