EXPAND Lists with a Thesaurus

If the search field that is EXPANDed in has a thesaurus, the EXPAND list will include a column labeled AT (Associated Terms). The number in this column indicates the number of broader, narrower, related, etc. terms that are associated with the term on that E-number line.

  Note: Postings in the FREQUENCY column give the number of records in the file that contain the term in the EXPAND index.


Determining if a File has a Thesaurus

To find out if a file has a thesaurus type HELP DIRECTORY while in the file. If HELP THESAURUS is in the directory list, then that file has a thesaurus.


EXPANDing on Thesaurus Terms

To learn how to use the EXPAND command to request a hierarchical display of associated terms, type HELP THESAURUS at an arrow prompt.
