A preliminary analysis of an experiment designed as a sensitive dibaryon resonance search in the reaction pp.-->.p.pi.n is presented. At 2 GeV/c incident momentum, 440,000 unambiguously reconstructed events were obtained. In this preliminary analysis, the results are reported of a search of the pn mass spectrum for evidence of chain decays of possible dibaryon resonances, i.e. pp.-->.d/sup **/, d/sup **/.-->.d/sup **/.pi./sup +/, d/sup */.-->.pn. No evidence of narrow peaks (less than or equal to 7 MeV) is seen in the data for cross-section-times-branching-ratio greater than 50 .mu.b.
