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. > Keep them in the NOTEBOOKs > and then you don't have to invent a wheel. My reason for asking was to know if anyone else had tried this.

(I believe that ASTRA has > been mentioned in the LDBASE-L notebook archives.) 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?
