	Yup. I just go: `G G' and then `foo|bar' and it works.

	I haven't try it, but you should be able to say something
like: `G G' `-YourOpcion YourParameters YourQuery' without any
problem, the "query" is inserted as is.

	I don't know what you mean, since the -F flag is used all the
time to restrict your query to mail files only.
