1. BEGIN 411, DIALINDEX, an index to most of the databases on Dialog.

2. SET FILES to the Engineering category (ENG).

3. SELECT your keywords all in one statement.

Note that if AND and OR operators occur in the same search statement you must put the ORed terms in parentheses.

Also remember to put the (w) or () connector between search terms.

Limited truncation is used after "system? ?" to retrieve only one extra letter (e.g., systems).

Note: To narrow this search further in DIALINDEX, limit the GPS search strategy to /TI,DE.
