I decided to go ahead and try the command I asked about in my last
posting.  This is what I got back.

The  AFD command  requires  password validation  when  issued from  remote
locations. Please specify  a "PW=" keyword. Acceptable  passwords are: the
list creation password ("createpw"), the system file modification password
("storepw")  and your  personal password  (obtained through  the "PW  ADD"
command).
------------------------------------------------------------------------
First, what is meant by "remote locations"?  Anything not at UBVM?
I sent the command from my Owner=  address which is the same as my
subscription address.
 
Does this mean that a subscriber must have a password to use AFD
(most subscribers don't have passwords)?
 
The list of valid passwords makes me wonder if this would add AFD
for the entire list.  Is this the case, or would it only effect my
subscription?
