Nick, The NOTEBOOK FILELIST is built dynamically so the entries should appear in it if everything is in order. However the last file will get logged as 87-nnnnn where "nnnnn" is the number defines in the "listname COUNTER" file. If you want the next issue to be numbered 5, for example, just modify "listname COUNTER" to place a "4" in line 1 (the counter gets incremented before being used -- why not?). If the file did not exist, create it on the same minidisk as the list notebooks. Eric
