For the link I posted, for a search on <binder>, the first 8 hits are relevant hits for "our" binder: an options reference, a control statement reference, an article on migrating from the link editor to the binder, a discussion of the binder API, binder inputs, ... From any one of the referenced pages it is easy to go up a level and from there to anything you want to know about the binder.
And as I said earlier, you can "expand" each of the links right there on the search page, so it is easy to tell what is relevant without getting lost down an Internet rabbit hole. You can also do a revised search from the results page: no need to go back and then start a new search. Only negative I have found on the expansions is a little hard to describe. In the Expand window, any links are not live, so you can't follow links from there; you have to actually click on the main link and actually navigate to the page. For the control blocks links it adds one more step, because that first page is often just three (dead) links: programming interface, heading, and mapping. It would be nice to be able to go from there straight to the mapping. But that's a nit. I am totally sold.

Thanks for the suggestion. An unfortunate "search terms" for site:ibm.com is "program management" which gives a basket of deplorable MBA-stuff but hardly any binder hits on the first page. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
