In case everyone doesn't know it, Database searches on 1.5n servers seem to have some extra niceties, one of which is suggesting a different server if the one you're talking to doesn't have the archive in question: --> Error: Database LISTS is not available from this node. You might wish to resend your request to LISTSERV@TCSVM, the nearest server to RICE hosting this database. Database removed from search list. But to search TCSVM I have to quit LDBASE and start over. Not a big pain, but a command to make the switch would be nice. Eric, can we have a NEWSERVER or some such command?? Steve "Give-me-something-nice-and-I'll-ask-for-more" Middlebrook
