Thanks to all who responded to this.
I have found a workable solution (for me).
Of the various solutions suggested,
the best (for me) seems to be Grep.
(downloaded from http://www.wingrep.com/)
As far as I can see, it is not possible to configure
the search type within Windows XP as it is with Vista.
The free versions of Ultra-Edit & WinEdt are a time-limited.
(unlike Grep, which merely suggests you register.)
-find- from a DOS prompt gives too much text
(including files without the text searched for)
If you wanted to avoid WinGrep's suggestion to register you could go
the whole hog, and use the original grep by installing Cygwin and
searching your files from within a UNIX-like shell.
(If I remember at the start of the thread you mentioned that you
didn't want to install a different OS, this provides the functionality
of an alternative OS under M$-Windows).
