Despite the appearance of the expand list in 411, the normal
functionality is not available until you are in a 'real' database
- the expand list is purely to show that hits are present - it is
not possible to SELECT the items in 411 (even for Derwent IDs!)

Shame on me! After reading Martin's last posting in this thread,
I went beck to my files and realised to my dismay that when
expanding Derwent formats for the British application in question
I mistakenly "exchanged" positions of the year and country code
(GB78- instead of 78GB-). No wonder that nothing showed up in the
Dialindex. My sincere apologies to everybody involved in this
thread for making so much ado about nothing.
What I still find a bit surprising in Martin's last posting are
the results of expanding the application number index in
Dialindex (file 411), after setting files 350/351. Martin's
expansion lists are clearly E-numbered, which implies
selectability of items appearing in the lists! Is this privilege,
unavailable to ordinary users of Dialog and Dialindex, routinely
(?) granted to Derwent's staff?
With best regards.
