Richard,
   I often use the MAILBOOK command to review my notebooks to clean them
out.  I like to read them in chronological order but the MAILBOOK command
sorts them descending order on the index number.  So, I do a SORT * A 1 4
on the menu to get them in the proper order.
   This is no big deal but I thought it would be nice to be able to do
SORTUP INDEX.  Of course, if you decide to add the index field to SORTUP
you should also add it to SORTDOWN.
