But, in my experience, this is RARE. IIRC, none of the CA manuals that I have can do this. I don't remember any IBM manuals that can do this either. So I must jump directly to some page number and hope that I get near what I need. The pgdn/pgup to try to find what I'm looking for. PDFs, IMO, are wonderful to print from. They are nice for serial reading (oh, how do I bookmark so that I come back to where I left off?). The stink for doing multi-book finds. Especially if the author of the books didn't create a search index for them. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer UICI Insurance Center Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its' content is protected by law.
