Don and Betty, thanks for your response. I have some final (really) comments: 1. File Finder sounds like a good solution. In the mean time though, I think I'll pass on searching for keywords in each of the 50 some-odd libraries of the 4 forums. 2. I don't find all the catalogs. User's lib 1 didn't have one and lib 2 has one called cscat.lzh. It lists files in 'AmigaForum Help'. What are the catalog files named? Even with File Finder, a compressed catalog is useful. It allows me to locate things offline without fumbling with BROWSE and various key words (e.g., 'spell' is a keyword for adventure games too). If I know CS has what I need I'm likely to log on during prime time instead of waiting for evening or looking elsewhere. 3. I've seen several other BBSs that are more difficult than CS too but the best ones have global file searching and good file catalogs. By the way, the file I'm looking for was listed as: 'ISPELL.ZOO/binary 01-Jul-89' and appears to be more recent than: 'ASPELL.ARC/binary 16-Feb-87.
