Thanks for the feedback on the search and the session
key Glenn - a modified version of it is attached with
the session key value removed. Examples also modified
slightly. And it's a pleasure to use the wizard -
otherwise I'd never put searches together.
JB - you were asking about the search name. PMID =
PubMed ID (I think). Bascically, every journal article
gets given a unique PMID number, so it's how I always
refer to them. It's a bit of a bonus that you can also
search for authors and title keywords using the same
search query.
James
