Pretty much, except the order doesn't matter if you if just put the first word of the key flag name (it's the space that causes the problem) e.g. <Msg text> -d Today -flKey works fine - fewer key presses as well ;-). Just remember to make the first word of your flags unique in some way. Have you checked out the updated User Guide on the website for 3.5.0? It includes a run down on the new parsing functionality. Regards, Ken PS thanks for the Delicious links. Look forward to having a look at those.
