Ben,
Thanks. With the information reassembled on one line I got to wa.exe
etc. That enables one to move around between posted messages, but
still isn't, as far as I can see, an archive of the kind I want to
create.

I want to be able to go, for example, to a folder "Book Reviews" and
locate all the book reviews that have been posted in, say, the last
two years. I don't think that is possible using the data base
commands (if that is what wa.exe is) is it?
