	I'm not exactly sure which string you're trying to look for.  Is it:
rcpt\(54\)  

cd (change directory) to wherever your filePro files are, then try this:

grep -y "rcpt\(54\)" */prc.*

The quotes are necessary because of the \'s and ('s in the string. 

The */prc.* syntax tells grep to search all the filePro prcs one subdir
below where you are standing.
