Melissa:

Sorry for the confusion.

The file-selection function /SZ: (and its variations
in the range selection with a hyphen) has not bee
affected by the saga of the truncation function
which was originally assigned to /SZ (without the
colon). The latter assignment was an unfortunate
blunder in the command set design and we decided to
correct the mistake by reassigning the function to
the distinct, /TR switch. We just could not
live with this blatant flaw in the design.

If you have been using the "/SZ:1-" switch, you can
continue using it without any change.

(A year from now, you will probably find the colon
in this switch becoming optional.)
