Re: NBWin 5.5.3c - customising Ibidem

David,
I never quite put it together until your message (below): I had wonered why did 
the record range option for Ibidem selection 
disappear in the transition from NBD to NBW.  I now realize that the logic must 
be based on IbidemW's ability to check (click) 
each of the desired record numbers for selection as a subset. While it is not 
possible to request a range in one command, one 
can still click both a range and interrupted serials of record numbers.
