Yes, this is almost word for word what Yuri explained in his first mail, 
and Stefan in his reply.  Yuri says that doing this is "tedious", Stefan 
that it is "not satisfactory".  So the question is: could this not be 
automated with a kind of stack or list of searches, in which one could 
navigate, instead of using a separate flat or structured text file?
