Find file has been included with the Mac OS since I think System 6, maybe
7 (either way, for some 10+ years).
Command-F from the finder... or go to the File menu and choose "Find"
(where, it should logically be... you want to find a "file" go to the
"file" menu, and choose "find").
But we know you haven't used a Mac since right after the Lisa came out,
so you probably messed with System 4 or 5 as the latest, which IIRC you
actually had to run the Find desk accessory manually to search for a file.
Granted, the IE warped versions of Windows have that nice "Search" button
in the folder views, which is a little easier. Is there a find button in
the windows of OS-X? (Dave? Anyone? Sorry, not a huge X user yet, I can't
quote all the features off the top of my head yet)
