   Aside from $ Strings and $ Typedata, those who have telnet capability
could use GOS (aka Genbank Online Services) IRX, like so ...

$ telnet genbank.bio.net !     or $ telnet 134.172.1.160
  login: genbank
  password: 4nigms       <== use lowercase pls.

Select the Genbank database, e.g. and submit a Q(Question) as

        M13380 [accession]

which looks for M13380 in the Accession Field.  Wait a few seconds and
read the results.  The I(Information) command shows which Fields can
be selected with the '[  ]' syntax.

Have fun, everyone!
