Hi Carl:
 I remain VERY interested in making use of the
archives (as it now stands I am saving all of the
user group messages I receive and my space is
getting full. I take it from your response
(below) that the search language is limited to one
a single search term, no conjuncts, alternatives,
phrases, etc. Is this assumption correct??? If
not, what is the search language syntax?
Thanks
Dick Giering
