Re: how to find delaration of a variable

[Lowell Kirsh]

thanks. it works well most of the time. I have one question though: 
sometimes it will take me to the declaration of the a variable of the 
same name but in a different file. Is there any way I can make sure it 
looks in the current file for the declaration before going to other file?
