Yes. That's probably done by the newview install. I'd like to be able to
switch to newview, but it still doesn't handle some of the INFs I use a
lot. The problems are minor, but like the search issues, they make
newview a less effective choice for me.

When I get a bit of time, I'm going to write a WPS object that opens up
newview when an abitrary object is dropped on it. I could handle file
objects with a REXX script, but I need a WPS object to handle the program
reference objects that run view.exe.

Yes. That's what the newview manual says Ctrl-S does.

>The ibmview.exe program works and found lots of "template*" stuff.

Right. Hopefully, Aaron will find the time to upgrade newview's search to
equal view's in this area.

>What .exe file date do you have?

I'm running b386. Ask Sundial for access to it.
