- Nicolai,
- I seem to be able to retrieve several hits from an Orbis textbase.
- However, I was also able to reproduce your friend's symptom: only
- the first match was transferred and then I had to restart the
- search. Orbis seems to be very senstitive to what you do
- between retrieving one match and fetching the other. A sure way
- to get it off balance was to clear the define in the Orbis window
- with ESC after the first hit was transferred. Actually, undefining
- with ESC seems to srew things up any time in an Orbis match window.
- (Not only is Orbis out of control but your work file may also have
- disappeared). This, however worked for me: after copying one hit
- to the adjacent window, alt-F10, gray+ until the next match you
- need appears, then define it (but don't undefine), alt-F10, gray+,
- etc.
- I don't know about big textbases though.
