I'm not understanding what you are trying to accomplish. Can you describe some scenario where this would be triggered? What problem are you trying to solve? Are you talking about RT'ing these *to* some account as an @reply or RT'ing one Twitter user from a series of "bots"? Because the former seems like you'd be better off saving an RSS feed of a specific search term, and the latter seems like (at the least) a bad idea, and (at the most) a possible TOS violation (I'm speculating, I haven't looked at the TOS that closely). It's hard to know what to suggest (even "don't do that") without a more clear understanding of what you are trying to do. THAT SAID: I don't know of any way to do this with the API anyway, even for the various ideas of what I think you might mean. TjL
