I used a newer (circa 2002) version of grep from cygwin 
and I have:

(1) -> ops: Database IndexCard := 
getDatabase("o")$OperationsQuery

   (1)  146
                                                     Type: 
Database IndexCard
(2) -> SOCKET(8080, getDocumentation$HyperDoc)$Lisp

   SOCKET is not a lisp function and so cannot be used 
with $Lisp.
(2) -> SOCKET(8080, getDocumentation$HyperDoc)
   There are no library operations named SOCKET
      Use HyperDoc Browse or issue
                               )what op SOCKET
      to learn if there is any operation containing " 
SOCKET " in its
      name.

   Cannot find a definition or applicable library 
operation named
      SOCKET with argument type(s)
                               PositiveInteger
                             (String -> String)

      Perhaps you should use "@" to indicate the required 
return type,
      or "$" to specify which version of the function you 
need.


I am not worried about the small database 146 value 
because I am running the hyperdoc package in 
.../windows/lib which is my personal library. I assume 
that if I can set the path to include the actual Axiom 
library I would be able to get the entire database.

I guess the newer Axiom would understand SOCKET?
