Oh... duh... well, you know... not having done that before, I got
confused by the description of it. :) Yeah, you'd have to get a
list... though it occurs to me there's a reasonably simple regular
expression that might be more efficient than the loop:

ids = rereplace(valuelist(qry1.id),"^([^,]+,){50,50}(([^,]+,?){1,50}).
*$","\2")

granted, you've got to drop the first part for the first 50, but it
oughta work for the remaining pages...

Heh... yeah, it's like people misspelling my name -- everybody spells
it wrong, but everybody spells it wrong in exactly the same way.

I always consider that a plus. :)
