(Or when reading a group as well...) Just like the current questions are asked about posting intentions. As well take a bit of time to keyword index the list so interactive searches can be made to locate a group etc... This is just an idea but the software effort *may* be worth while... Perhaps putting 'hooks' in now would give the chance for future improvements... (I think something better then the 'l' or 'L' command in rn and such is in order....) Just some thoughts..... # Mike Gore # Institute for Computer Research. ( watmath!mgvax!root - at home ) # These ideas/concepts do not imply views held by the University of Waterloo.
