You can define yourself a password with the PW command, i.e. TELL LISTSERV PW ADD pass and then simply use 'pass' as the password. You can also define a password associated to the PUT FAC you are using in a specific FILELIST, as in *+ ABC= 556@OREGON1 David Boyes *+ ABC= PW=pass2 and use 'pass2' to store files in this filelist and 'pass' for other filelists. Send me mail directly if you need more specific info. Jose Maria
