I'm way out of practice but I'm trying to scroll through a text file and 
print any line that contains "Location".  This ought to work but 
doesn't.  I'm missing something really basic!

awk '{
	/*Location*/ { print }
}' IN > OUT

the "{" in "{ print }" produces a syntax error.  It does this no matter 
what is in "/ /".
