Did you mean to include the hyperlinks there, Dave? I'm afraid we
switched off the HTML on this group, too.

The best way, IMO, to do this is the following:

1. Download all of the ZIP files and extract the individual .txt files
into one folder/directory.

2. Open the folder and click "Search" or use the search function in
the Start menu. Then you search for a keyword *in the document* and
limit the search to that folder.

3. The engine will pull up each .txt that contains the keyword.  You
can also search on e-mail addys and Yahoo IDs.

4. Then open each selected .txt file in Notepad to search for the
particular instance of the keywordl

I burned all of the unzipped archives I have onto a CD so that it
wouldn't take up all my hard drive space.

Hope that helps!
