you can search as many databanks as you want by including them in
a list within { and }. But the databank names must be 
separated by a space which is interpreted as the end of arguments to 
the cgi command. 
A '+' instead of the ' ' doesn't solve the problem
either since it occurs within the srs query, which is a single 
argument which is split into two arguments by the space that replaces
the 
'+'. 

But there is a solution! use a '_SP_' instead of the ' '. This is 
the internal encoding for wgetz. So your query should be
