Re: Problems with multigram

Thanks; that was helpful. It reminded me that I had modified SmartList
a decade ago so that it did work that way, and that I needed to go
find a copy of my changes. I did and now things are working the way
they are supposed to be working for my site.

It had been so long since I had really studied Smartlist recipes that
I had forgotten all about it.

Thanks again for taking the time to dissect the messages.
