Diolch.] For anyone who wants to rake up something from past postings, but can only remember a few words about the subject, there exists a Listserv database search facility (try sending an e-mail to Listserv@IRLEARN saying just INFO DATABASE to get fuller info). For example, to search for the string "Lerpwl" send the following to the Listserv (*not* to WELSH-L itself): // JOB Echo=No Database Search DD=Rules //Rules DD * Search Lerpwl in WELSH-L Index /* (Please note that the blank space between // and JOB is significant.) This will print out an index of the postings containing that string, with their reference numbers. You can pick the one(s) you want, and send another e-mail job to the Listserv asking for a printout of it/them. Alternatively, if you don't mind risking huge incoming mail files, add the line Print just before the final /* to get all postings containing that string printed. There's a lot more than this to the database search facilities. It's ideal when you know for sure there was something posted on a particular subject, but can't remember exactly when. (Beth am "cyfleuster chwilio databas"? Hynny yw'r geiriau unigol yn y "geiriadur termau cyfrifiadureg", ond does dim ymadrodd cyfan.)
