For that reason, I keep multiple swish-e indices, each covering a few nnml folders. Is there a good way of passing a list of indices to nnir, instead of a single index file? I know *a* way of doing it, but it's a hack. I looked at nnir.el and noticed that nnir-swish-e-additional-switches is passed to the command line immediately after the -f field. So, I set all the additional indices in this list, and it works fine. But, I would prefer to pass a list to -f, rather than relying on this contrived method. thx, -p
