Do you mean that by asking I demonstrate I am not "truly adventurous,"
or do you simply mean there is no way? I'm confused by your answer.

My reason for asking was to know if anyone else had tried this.
If a wheel CAN be invented, then why not?

By "what I am asking" do you mean search non-notebook files? If so, are
you saying that ASTRA may be used to search lISTSERVs, or that ASTRA cannot
be used with LISTSERVs but can be used to search non-LISTSERV systems?
Please be clear.

I'm presuming this "roll your own" script should have the line
 
        s * in LSTSRV-L, etc
               ^^^^^^
given that LSTOWN-L no longer exists?
