symbolname = Ask("What symbol do you want to locate?")
symbol = GetSymbolLocation(symbolname)
if (symbol == nil)
Msg (symbolname # " was not found")
else
{
hsyml = SymbolChildren(symbol)
cchild = SymListCount(hsyml)
ichild = 0
while (ichild < cchild)
{
childsym = SymListItem(hsyml, ichild)
Msg (childsym.symbol # " was found in "
# childsym.file # " at line " #
childsym.lnFirst)
ichild = ichild + 1
}
SymListFree(hsyml)
}
