I think you'll find that the interpretation of the word "and" is a server function (doesn't really matter that it's treated as a boolean, it could be any stop word) and, as such, the client doesn't know not to highlight it when you hit Find Key. In fact, this isn't unique to the iubio code - it happens to me in the b5.1 client all the time, with any server. I seem to recall something that could be done about it passing through wais-talk a while back, but it might also just be a random neuron firing <g>. Anyway, I don't find it all the unusual an occurrance - you'd have to make your client aware of all the "special" words used by _all_ of the servers you talk to. -- _______________________________________________________________________ -- Archie Warnock Internet: warnock@hypatia.gsfc.nasa.gov -- Hughes STX "Unix --- JCL For The 90s" -- NASA/GSFC
