Bdtd .  MOst programs invoking a batch don't  require that, but
attempted that way too. Back to his cryptic explanation in the docs, see if
I can make head or tail of it .

Mr. Van Essen wrote some good stuf, but sometimes his descriptions in docs,
especially of more complex functions leave a bit to be desired imho.
Usually trial and error sorts it out for me however.
YEas ago when running timed constantly I finally figured out how to set up
searches. SInce there was a gap of a few years I had to figure it out all
over again .
