No.  I just use Idle's grep (Find in Files).  And I generally would even 
if Command Prompt did have grep.  Idle's has the nice feature that 
output goes in an Output Window, with each line found prefaced with 
filename and line number.  One can then right click on a line and open 
the file at that line in an Idle editor.  One can also save the list to 
a file if so inclined.
