I haven't been able to use (CTL and (NOL in the same command.
Listserv seems to reject whichever one is placed second.

I always use: PUT [file name/listname] FILELIST PW=XXXXXXXX
It works for me.

I could be the one wrong (I suggested this).  I put my WELCOME message
first, but I don't have the "FILELIST" file listed.

The original post had the notebook logs retrieved with the filelist, and
I assume the (CTL was used.  The logs always are included when I send
for the filelist with the (CTL command.
