The below script when sent to listserv@ubvm, will index (and optionally
"print") the non-UNIX, non-VMS notes stored in the NAVIGATE filelist.
Note that this will "hit" on 45 entries, and if all were "printed", (by
removing the "*" prepended to "print", would produce over 7300 lines
returned to you as file DATABASE OUTPUT.  Note that this index will
still report on subjects other than "vm" e.g., "gopher".

index #.3 subject.75

If you are interested in ONLY the VM stuff, ADD the following
command BEFORE the INDEX command (in addition to the first SEARCH) --
 
   search *  where subject contains .vm
