        Well, I won't argue the point about msg_browse being too complicated 
to figure out.  Crumbs, switching message areas is too complicated for some 
of my users!  8-)
        I really didn't say I didn't like the file_locate behavior.  I just 
think it could be improved upon, if even slightly.  What I would find very 
useful would be the addition of at least an "and/or" option to limit or 
expand the search.  For instance, suppose I want a listing of all the 
Warcraft files in the file collection.  Some descriptions have it as "War 
Craft" and others as "Warcraft."  It'd be nice to be able to search for 
"Warcraft" and "War Craft."  Of course, you could search for just "craft", 
but you'd also get the needlepoint patterns.  8-)  This really wasn't the 
best example, but it's the best I could come up with right now.  I know that 
I've had users ask if it was possible to search for two things at one time.  
The answer is "no," unless I've missed something real obvious. 
        I hope that explains what I mean a little better.  It wasn't meant as 
a criticism, but only as a suggestion for a possible enhancement.  I know I 
would really appreciate it!  8-)  BTW, I wonder if it could be done in MEX.  
I wouldn't doubt it.
        Take care!
                                                Victor
