Thanks for the reply. I understand the situation now. Only one comment, though:
The PNAS paper the accession number appeared in was July 1990.  It's now
mid-October.  If that's the usual sort of wait, then I guess I'll just have
to chant a few mantras and wait it out, but two and a half months seems 
a bit longer than the few weeks <Elliston@av8tr.UUCP> mentioned for the 
appearance of the D3 receptor sequence from an accession no. published
in Science.  Anyhow, I'll just keep sending to the servers and hope that 
sooner rather than later something bounces back.
		Thanks again for the info,
			Cheers
