thanks frank.  that was never clear in the original help file i think.

* actually i just opened the help-file again, and it's still not clear
.  i have been using the msgfile external all this time just to do that, because i thought it wasn't possible with qlist.


however, msgfile does have other advantages too. 

achim, if you have zexy, have a look at [msgfile] ...it's quite good.
