That's right; the current stopgap has no search function.  I suspect
you'll have to look at both xemacs-beta and xemacs-nt; the xemacs-nt
list declined rapidly once we declared official support for the
platform.

I would guess that you're looking for src/fileio.* for generic
low-level functions, sysdep.* or syswindows.* for Windows drivers
where they're different from POSIX or too low level to be in libc.
There may be some relevant code at the Lisp level.  Sorry I can't be
more specific, but OS hacking is not my strong point.
