Though others may be aware of complete references, or user- supported helps, I don't have a list. Usually, though ob- viously not always, one can find previous discussion on any keyword by searching the notebook archives of: lstown-l lstsrv-l help-net The first two are on searn (searn.sunet.se), and the last on templevm (vm.temple.edu). The following script will assist, when sent to a listserv: /* --------------------- clip and save ---------------- */ //ListSrch JOB Echo=no Database Search DD=Rules OUTLIM=4000 f=mail //Rules DD * S keyword= IN LSTOWN-L LSTSRV-L HELP-NET index date.8 sender.25 subject.45 print *index #.5 date.8 subject.64 *index #.5 sender.17 subject.55 *index date.8 subject.70 *s * in carr-l where subject contains fwd: since 10-sep /* // EOJ /* --------------------- clip and save ---------------- */ Replace the keyword with one or more boolean strings. Usually keeping the '=' at the end of the string will limit extraneous info. /Pete ([log in to unmask]) -- co-owner LDBASE-L, TQM-L, CPARK-L, et -L -- Peter M.
