I don't need the taxonomic id, and I don't need to start traversing taxonomy trees. I want to do this by accessing remote databases (via srs, as configured in my emboss.defaults file), rather than indexing databases locally.  So the output I want would be a text mapping like:

This will be in EMBOSS 6.3.0 as:

infoseq -only -accession -organism (with no ':' in the output)

For now it has the full text from the OS line, soon we may be able to 
select one species name instead of a list.

Hope this will help
