I've come across something that I find most frustrating, especially
when one has to shelf list:

the search:     c=qa76.5.p
brings you to the very begining of qa76.5 (after qa76.499 .z999 and
before qa76.5 .a1 for example)

*BUT*

the search      c=qa76.5.p2
brings you to the appropriate place (after qa76.5 .p199 and before qa76.5 .p3)

Why should one have to put a number after the cutter to get to the
begining of that cutter?  By typing in *just* the cutter letter one
has to scroll through several screens just to get to .p1
