hi all here is a demo of how i create a no-pain index listing for a month's worth of my postings to the PARKINSN listserv (i use these indexes to create the hyperlinks to each individual message in the 'janet's journal' section of my website - a looooong work in progress!) using listserv's data base capability, (described in detail in the "pdnet" section of my website) i first sent a command message by e-mail to the PARKINSN listserv computer to dig up every message i sent to the list in january of this year: translated into listserv-nerd-ese, the command is shown below between the ---------- lines: ---------- // search * in PARKINSN from 20010101 to 20010131 , where sender is [log in to unmask] ---------- within a minute or so, the listserv computer sent me back this reply: ---------- > search * in parkinsn from 20010101 to 20010131 where sender is [log in to unmask] -> 59 matches.
