And no this is not a command inadvertently sent to the list :-) BTW:
people have suggested that it should be possible to use to database
functions to search the contents of a list. Now this is a bit difficult,
because (1) the list changes very often, and not just as appends, and yes
fast enough for an item number assigned in an interactive session to have
lost its meaning by the time you request it to be INDEXed or PRINTed, and
(2) the list contains a password that you shouldn't be allowed to search
upon or display, thus making the implementation a bit difficult. Besides,
how do I call the database? :-) List name is 8 characters, database name
must be 8 characters too, and dbname=listname is already the notebooks...
