I don't understand what you mean by the list server. However I do not
believe Wholly Genes will not do they have to answer questions about the
use of the program. This list is the place to ask such questions.

As I remember the + sign is in the modified register report where every
person is assigned a number and those that have descendants have the +
sign.

In the register report, each child of a person is assigned a roman
numberal and those that have children are assigned a number.

See Page 83 of the manual.

I believe this is automatically done as I can't find any reference to it
in the manual and I know the MR reports works that way.

I am not sure what you want. If you want all the descendants of one
ancestor then just select prompt when generated in the focus tab. I
have run such a report for 4 ancestors but I found the ancestor and
their IDs and put is the focus ID number = xxx or Id number = yyy etc.

There are filters such as "Is an ancestor of you and father ID is blank
and mother ID is blank" However this might exclude people you want and
include some you don't want.
