        !             5: .SH SYNOPSIS
        !             6: .B sd
        !             7: .SH DESCRIPTION
        !             8: .PP
        !             9: The \fIsd\fR program implements a simple window interface to
        !            10: an X500 OSI directory.
        !            11: It is derived from an original interface called "widget".
        !            12: .PP
        !            13: 
        !            14: \fISd\fR runs on most cursor-addressable terminals, providing a full-screen
        !            15: character-driven interface suitable for novice users.
        !            16: It is based on the notion of "widgets" as characterized by the 
        !            17: X-windows system and attempts to simulate button,
        !            18: dialogue and text widgets.
        !            19: Functions are invoked by pressing the initial letter of the 
        !            20: function name displayed in the widget.
        !            21: .PP
        !            22: List and Search operations within the directory are conducted relative
        !            23: to an area displayed in the \fISearch Area\fR widget.
        !            24: An instance of this could be,
        !            25: .sp
        !            26: .in +.5i
        !            27: .nf
        !            28: \*(lqGB, Brunel University.\*(rq

        !            30: .in -.5i
        !            31: .sp
        !            32: .PP
        !            33: List returns a list of entries held below the 'Search Area'.
        !            34: In the above case,
        !            35: a call to list would return a list of departments in Brunel University.
        !            36: .PP
        !            37: A search is performed on the basis of
        !            38: a search value 
        !            39: (or attribute)
        !            40: which describes some aspect of the
        !            41: object 
        !            42: (i.e. it's name,
        !            43: location etc.)
        !            44: and a type,
        !            45: which associates the object being searched
        !            46: for with one of a given set of types
        !            47: (i.e. Person, Place, Organization, Department).
        !            48: The search value is displayed in the \fISearch For\fR field
        !            49: and it's type is shown in the \fIType\fR field.
        !            50: Any search will return a list of objects that match
        !            51: the given search value within the current search area.
        !            52: To display information on or move to a listed object the list number
        !            53: of that object must be entered.
        !            54: .PP
        !            55: An example of a simple search is shown below.
        !            56: Here the target is the directory object for
        !            57: \*(lqProfessor Polonius Plum\*(rq
        !            58: of Brunel University.
        !            59: The search is initiated with

        !            61: a value \*(lqPlum\*(rq and type \*(lqPerson\*(rq,
        !            62: with the directory then returning,
