Thanks for the suggestion.  I think you did understand me and, yes, that
would work, but only *if* each list entry were a single line.
Unfortunately, I tend to fill my list paragraphs so that each item in
the list is often several lines and, in fact, often several paragraphs
(especially when it concerns minutes of a meeting and resulting
actions).  delete-matching-lines would delete the first line of a list
entry only.

I need to be able to "delete" whole list entries automatically based on
their status, whether in a copy or during export.

Thanks again,
eric
