Hmmm.  That worked, after I generated the locatedb file.  Guess it's 
been a looooong while since I've used this laptop in anything resembling 
a Unix-y fashion ;)  I hadn't even thought about using 'locate'. 
Anywho, this is what I got:

macbook:~ monte$ locate idlelib | grep def | grep extensions
/Applications/Gimp.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python2.5/idlelib/config-extensions.def
/Applications/Komodo 
Edit.app/Contents/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/idlelib/config-extensions.def
/Applications/sage/local/lib/python2.6/idlelib/config-extensions.def
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/idlelib/config-extensions.def
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.1/lib/python3.1/idlelib/config-extensions.def
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/python2.3/idlelib/config-extensions.def
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/idlelib/config-extensions.def
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/idlelib/config-extensions.def
macbook:~ monte$


This might be another exceptionally dumb question... but is there a 
(simple) way to get Finder to actually search the *whole* hard drive 
when I want it to - including /System and such?  'Cuz the 
/Applications/sage/.../config-extensions.def file showed up in a search 
of the 'whole hard drive' in Finder, and another file that didn't even 
show up here (but it was in a folder in my home directory...).  All the 
other files, even the ones under /Applications (like the sage directory) 
didn't show up at all?

Thanks,

Monte
