You're doing the right thing.  Otherwise how would the file get closed?

Yes, it is doing what it claims.  If you look at the code for findTokens:
you see that the argument is suggestively named "delimiters": this is a
collection of characters that are looked for to break up the input.  I'm
guessing that you want to break up the input whereever whitespace is seen,
not whenever one of the characters #, E, X, T, I, N, F, : are seen.
So, try
	ft _ fc findTokens: Character separators.

Hope this helps,
Joshua
