Newbie can't get gnu grep to produce results

[RichardL]

Hi,

I'm running GNU grep 2.5.1 over WinXP/SP2.

I could not get grep to produce and output for some simple queries.
My efforts are shown below in a (slightly edited) transcript of a
Command Window session.

Any advice on how I can grep to produce search results would be
greatly appreciated.
