Russ, Here is a boilerplate I send to subscribers which includes the password: You can search the archives (or get back copies of list postings) by email (see below) or via the web. For the web, go to: http://apple.ease.lsoft.com/archives/sibernet-l.html The first time, you will need to sign in with a password. If you wish, Listserv will save the password in a "cookie" so you don't need to enter it next time(s). To create the password, send email to the listserv: [log in to unmask] No mime or html, plain text ONLY. No signature. No subject. In the body: PW ADD the_password_you_would_like_to_use Listserv will ask you to confirm this (to make sure someone else didn't forge the request). It may take from seconds up to a day or two. This password is good for all lists on the apple server. [Rest deleted as not relevant.] -- Rich Greenberg N6LRT Marietta, GA, USA richgr atsign panix.com + 1 770 321 6507 Eastern time zone.
