DialogWeb Help:  The COST Command

To display cost estimates for your current search session enter the COST command in the Command text box.

The COST command displays an estimate of costs incurred since the last BEGIN command and an estimate of costs incurred since logon. The COST command can be entered at any time during a session. The cost estimate message does not interfere with the search process. It does not change databases, erase sets, or disconnect you from Dialog.

All system cost estimates are rounded to the nearest minute.

You can also click Cost on the DialogWeb toolbar. After reviewing the estimated costs, click continue to close the Cost page.
