But reading what you wrote,       I'm guessing the other 'merge' meaning applies; that is, it takes the two       nodelists and merge them together. With that understood, I've just taken to       use NODELIST instead.              Thanks              Edmund       --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A46 2020/08/26 (Linux/32)        * Origin: Eagle's BBS (1:153/7083)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 30/0 80/1 90/1 103/705 105/81 120/340 123/131 129/305       SEEN-BY: 134/100 153/0 105 757 7083 154/10 218/700 840 221/1 6 226/30       SEEN-BY: 227/114 702 229/424 426 428 452 550 664 700 981 240/1120       SEEN-BY: 240/5832 249/206 307 317 400 261/38 280/464 282/464 1038       SEEN-BY: 292/854 301/0 1 101 113 317/3 322/757 335/364 341/66 342/200       SEEN-BY: 633/280 712/848 920/1 4500/1 5020/1042 5058/104       PATH: 153/7083 757 221/6 301/1 229/426           |
