RAT() starting position

Hello,

Please try the below test code:

function main()
local cSearch := "12345789-123456789-"
? rat( "7", cSearch )
? rat( "7", cSearch, 10 )
inkey(0)
return NIL

Here I get:
16
16

so the starting position of the search seems to be ignored.

I'm running rev 6220, and get the same results. As a matter of fact I
get the same 16 no matter what number I put as the starting position -
whether it be -5 or 0 or 25 or 100.

It was a bug in June:
http://groups.google.com/group/comp....0d6149965c297b

Apparently was either never reported:
http://www.xharbour.com/support/bugreporter/
.... or was ignored when reported. Someone care to report this?
