The maps are much appreciated. I was able to search the lists yesterday for
an organization which provided a telephone number that led me to the
person I was after. The only problem is that it took me 45 minutes
as I didn't know the state so had to go throught the whole list(1200 baud).

I was wishing and thinking it would be nice if I could use the search feature
of the notesfile (x and X). It would have saved a considerable amount of my
time to be able to type in the organization and have the search feature go
directly to it. Unfortunately, I don't see a way this can be done.

Can some wizard out there come up with a way of using existing features of
the notesfiles sytem to do this? Or perhaps even reorgainizing how the list
of firms is sent out to take advantage of the search capability. For those 
without notesfiles, the x feature searchs for a string in the title-not 
througout the note.
