Were one to believe what find("summarize") says, it's in the search
position where I put it. However, what's in that position, ISN'T what
is returned when one types 'summarize' at the prompt. Though, as I
indicated earlier, ESS gets the correct one if I wish to edit it.
The only way I found to get round the problem was to make an
additional function Summarize in the same place. It involves editing
any old scripts/functions before they work, but work they do.
