SAVE TEMP and EXS
•?T S6/8/1-5
•Those results looked good.  Save the search and begin in a different file executing the same strategy:
•?SAVE TEMP
•Temp SearchSave "TD001" stored
•?b 185;exs
At this point I could produce my output with a TYPE command.  Then, maybe I would decide that I’m not done looking quite yet.  There’s another database that I want to check.  It’s the Zoological Record.  It’s file 185.  Rather than lose all my commands, I’m going to temporarily save them with the “SAVE TEMP” command.  The system responds that it has saved the search … if memory serves me correctly … the search strategy is saved for a 24 hour period.

Now I’m getting fancy on you.  I’ve stacked two commands into one line!  You should recognize the BEGIN command.  Then I entered a semicolon – this let’s DIALOG know that I’m about to enter a second command.  The next command is the EXS command.  That’s short for Execute Steps.  Entering “EXS” without specifying a particular saved search strategy automatically runs the latest search that I saved.
