yes that is true ...srs3.1 supports the PIR feature table and srs4.0 doesn't
this is because the feature information in PIR is rather scarce and sometimes
difficult to read (for a program) ...but in the near future the PIR feature
will be fully supported again

peter rice has already explained how to do this on the command line
with the WWW server you just specify the words in the organism and feature
fields and then select "sequenceFeature" instead of the default "entries"
in the second last line of the query form ...click the ?! there to get
more information on that

this is a new feature in srs4

you can do it with the srswww too ...do the query as described above and
then, on the next page click "view complete entries" ...this gives
you the list of found features plus some but not all of the parent entry's 
annotation
