SELECTing Related Terms

When There Are Fewer than 50 Related Terms

If a Related Term list indicates fewer than 50 Related Terms for a thesaurus term, Dialog displays the entire list (e.g., R1 to R34). If you want to SELECT the thesaurus term at the top of the EXPAND list and all of its Related Terms, display the R numbered list, note the number of Related Terms indicated for R1, and SELECT R1 through that number plus one (to account for the term in R1 itself).

Note: DialogClassic via Telnet shows the first 12 entries. Display the first Rnumbered list and follow the same procedure to SELECT R1 through the number of Related Terms plus one.

• To SELECT all Related Terms when there are fewer than 50:
