Display Records

I want to view records from Set 1, which contains the Woosh patent.

It is often a good idea to use a brief format to browse the results before printing out the entire record. I will use the MEDIUM format which will give me the number of lines in the patent.

To display records, we

Choose a format from the drop-down list
Indicate the number of records to display. The default is 10 records. A maximum of 99 records can be specified. In our case, we only have one record.

Search Tip 3-1:

If there are many records in a set and we want to see more than 10, we can click the link to the next group of records at the bottom of the screen, or enter a TYPE command to view more records.

We should only use the link after we have completed viewing all the records in the current list.

Search Tip 3-2:

An alternate way to display records is by using the TYPE command (abbreviated T).

The TYPE command has three parts: Set number/format/range of records. All three parts must be included.

Example:

	Set	Format	Range of records
T	s# /	free /	1-3
