'
I have a file named FIND.  Anytime I try to ask masterscope a question about it, say'
'
. ANALYZE ON FIND'
  or'
. WHO ON FIND CALLS LAFITE'
'
it responds'
'
  should I LOADFROM {PHYLUM}<LISPUSERS>SHOW.;1 ?'
'
I eventually realized that FIND was the problem, even though FIND is not a documented Masterscope keyword, and solved the problems by asking instead'
'
. ANALYZE ON ''FIND'
'
etc.'
