Find graphs where a wave is plotted

//Brings to the front the graphs containing a given wave
//Given a wavename (requires full path), returns a string containing a list of window names indicating the
//graphs that contain this wave as a trace, and brings those graphs to the front.
//Written to find graphs that are blocking deletion of a wave, i.e., to
//cope with the error message "1 object(s) could not be deleted because they are in use".
//One way to use this function: select, in the data browser, the wave you are having trouble deleting;
//copy; type the function's name, FindWaveWindow(), in the command window; paste the wave name
//between the parentheses.
//Or use the function below this one, ShowWaveGraphs, which prompt the user for the name of a wave in the
//current data folder and then calls FindWaveGraphs to find graphs with that wave.
//Written by Pietro Mazzoni as an extension of a function written by  Rick Gerkin
