        Opus would also do name-guessing. If the area name were "Utilities" 
and you typed in UTIL it would look at its area list and dump you into the 
closest match instead of reporting "Not found" or the like. It made a serious 
effort to be sure that where you wanted to go did not exist... :-)

        Thanks for the ideas, it is appreciated.
