Well, this is the third try at a response to this message. The first time, I was sure that Rob had it right. Then I realized that Rob's solution doesn't retrieve documents that don't have titles. Then I realized that I'm not really clear on what the semantics of the proposal really are. So, would someone care to try again to describe the actual requirement. Thanks! Ralph
