Hi Jim,
	
	First, make sure filters are enabled by going into the menu:
	Options->Global Preferences->Actions and make sure
	'Use filters when possible' is checked.

Now, a popup menu appears in the 'list' view of the database.  The menu is 
in the middle of the screen and at the bottom, and should say 'No Filter'.
Click on this, then click 'Edit Filters...'  Now you can define filters 
just as you define views.  Click 'New' then define a filter just as you 
would search for a particular set of records.  Once this has been done, 
you can re-run that search in the list view simply by selecting the 
appropriate filter from the popup menu.

	hope this helps
	-Scott
