Reverse find string

I'd like to see a RFindString() or something which searches for a string from the end of the searched string.
It was hinted at here
http://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtopic.php?t=20761 but not explicitly asked for as a command.

additionally, it would be nice if it would be a "batch" command,
that finds the next position if called more than once.
(like e.g. the EnumDisplaySettings API-call)

The current FindString() has a start position parameter, so I guess it could be like that.
Position = RFindString(String$, StringToFind$, StartPosition)

I needed that one several times, too.

I wrote a bidirectional search routine for my
MemPad. It is very convenient to be able to search back and forth with just a mouse click (a feature that would be nice for the PB IDE as well)
