	Dear Sudeep,

If you can, using some script, transform your file into format :

xxx:AC3355
xxx:CG6754
xxx:AV6754

with xxx the name of the databank (you might have to use bare accession 
numbers rather than version numbers), then it is easy, just run

seqret list::File

If you want the original entries rather than the entries in fastA 
format, use entret instead of seqret.
