Except 'whose' clauses are broken in some versions (6.x'es) of FM.

They are useful for one's own scripts if the particular version of FM being
used is cool with it. For production on various machines: no.

(But the suggestion to avoid the Find Mode is a good one, and there are
other ways to do that without the 'whose'. So, I hope the OP takes some of
the clues from Andy's post. Especially readin the dictionary as an actual
resource for learning to script FM! :)
