I got results from the internal search-engine only after I checked BOTH the
'Active' & 'Inactive' boxes. This is the first time I've ever gotten the
GRIN system to work AT ALL.
I was able to find a newer page, the 'Updated" page for the item, which
contained even LESS info than what I'd found previously.
Thanks very much for your help. I hope to try it again on something which
has more info in GRIN.
