Alas, with MRS2 you could write a single URL to perform a query and then
retrieve the result as plain text. With MRS3 this has become impossible,
because there are now separate programs. Could EMBOSS eventually first
ask for a query.do, parse the reply and then ask for a plain.do ?
Or you could consider using the Web services instead. I have no
experience with the Web services under MRS3 ; I will in the coming weeks
try to get informed.

There is no documentation for the moment. Well, let's not blame dear
Maarten, he is alone in his corner with a big development project...
You can however find a list of available databanks, with for each
databank the available field shortnames. It is possible to write an URL
like ..../mrs-3/query.do?db=uniprot&query=id:papa?_carpa|ac:papa?_carpa
