I have noticed when doing searches, that I don't always get what I anticipate.
It is also annoying not to have the final search result sorted in alphabetical
order and have to sort it afterwards.  Speaking about the searches, one of the
wish list items awhile back asked whether an option asking for sub-sets
of the current search could be added, thus saving time and allowing
for some more complicated searches to be performed.

I will remind any new comers that using the key word and quick-search 
facility DRAMATICALLY increases the speed of searching (assuming you are
careful in defining keywords-which is the subject of another current disc.
 
Niles-
Is an upgrade approaching (I'm a DOS, NOT a Windows user) which incorporates
any of the often discussed hoped for improvements from this User Disc 
group?
