Greg Kroll,
  I found it useful, but the LISTSERV is still saying something is
wrong.  The list owner is not getting any help from the local listserv
owner.
 
  Here is what I got back, any idea what I messed up on?  Thanks!

This is not the proper way to store files - you must send your request along
with the  replacement file, placing the  PUT command in the  first record of
the file (before the data you want  to store). Another possibility is to use
the LSVPUT user interface, if you are running VM/CMS.
