This got me thinking - I know that if I check the 'restrict to columns' 
box in the Find/Replace dialogue it affects the Filter Selection (try it 
with 'D' in column 6 ... you'll find you get only D-specs, not all lines 
that contain a 'd' or 'D').  However, I don't see a way to filter based on 
the find string.  What I'd like to do is put the regular expression 
"(variable | BEGSR | ENDSR)" (quotes not part of expression), then be able 
to filter on that expression so that I get something like:

D  variable
         variable = value
C  mySR        BEGSR
         variable = value2
C mySR2      BEGSR
         clear variable

and so on.  Makes it easy to see which subroutines modify a global 
variable.

Does anyone have a way of doing this?  Do you like the idea?
