When the search terms are separate arguments, they're handled separately; first all packages in standard are installed, then all packages in required, and finally all packages in important. An implicit 'and' would result in nothing at all being installed, since no package has more than one priority! Daniel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
