There was a bug in LSV$FORW EXEC (actually it was a typo in FORWARD SYSVARS - "FWD_RESENT" instead of "FWD_RESEND", but I decided it was easier to update the exec than to have to modify a SYSVARS file which has been already configured). I re-PUT it and found a bug with the 1.5l AFD via DISTRIBUTE code: messages to the sender of the PUT command were being discarded. I fixed it and made a few more tests, so you might have received three copies of the same file. It's not a loop. Eric
