Under VM, you executed the  LISTSERV command called DATABASE and provided
it  with a  set  of  search instructions  to  execute.  The new  database
function is  a LISTSERV  command (SEARCH) that  you invoke  directly. The
standard  LISTSERV  command continuation  rules  apply,  and the  special
database continuation rules do not. So, you can do:
 
// search * in hp3000-l since nov 96 ,
// where subject contains 2680

Not currently, but you can order the next 100 hits with something like:
 
SEARCH whatever IN HP3000-L.nnn- WHERE whatever
 
'nnn' would be the number of the last returned hit, plus one.
