questions)?)

YES, see script below.
 
>(2) On a different topic, when I've tried to add to the end of a SEARCH

You only use one reserved word WHERE when qualifying.

No constraint, just a different syntax.  The free form text search (the
"stuff" before the "IN db") implies the AND Boolean operator.  KEYWORD
field operands do none such -- all keyword search Boolean expressionS
(SENDER and SUBJECT) must explicity state AND or OR and be
parenthesized.  (NB the same Boolean syntax that can be used after the
WHERE clause, can also be used in the free form text (after the "Select"
and before the "IN db") search i.e., explicit AND and parens, but NOT
vice versa.)

Please observe the files-to=.  In my own private script, I have my
Bitnet address (which is redundant, but allows me to remember the syntax
whenever I need use it).  Also, I've added the f=mail on the DB Search.
