Yesterday I suggested:
>Here's my suggestion: for the <series searching> option, prompt the

Even better, I think now in my lucid Tuesday morning brain space,
would be to have a special label VOL #=, or NO.=, or V.NO.=, or
VOL.NO.= instead of NW=. VOL.NO.= in tandem with TW= strikes me as
the clearest way to describe the most effective search for a specific
series volume. What do you think?
