This is the line of OPL that you would call before doing a FINDFIELD;

pokeb(peekw($1c)+7),0

Reading back I can see the confusion, what it should say, in my message, is 
that FINDFIELD will perform a normal FIND ... it should not intimate that 
FINDFIELD works, sorry.

The bug will almost certainly be fixed in the next release of OPL (whenever 
that will be) or the documentation changed to reflect its limitations
