find	lookup a resource definition

Description
The getrc tool is used to interrogate the .aipsrc files (AIPS++ resource files) to find values for a given keyword, and to connect with some of the more widely used keywords. More on aipsrc files can be found in the system manual, and in the aipsrcdata description. The getrc tool is used only during startup to avoid various dependencies between a few core include files. Once "aipsrc.g" has been included, getrc should not be used. However, if getrc is used it will detect that aipsrc has been included and that will be used. There is only one getrc tool, which is immediately available upon the inclusion of getrc.g.

Example

- include "getrc.g"
T 
- getrc.find(where, "help.directory")    
T
- print where
/aips++/daily/sun4sol_gnu/doc/aips2help
- getrc.find(where, "does.not.exist")
