I am trying to set up my first (of many) filelist. I waded through the documentation and with quite a bit of trial and error I figured out that I need to put the files GMAIL FILELIST and GMAIL FILEID on LISTSERV`s disk, then put the files GMAIL COM, GMAIL TXT, and GMAILUPD COM on LISTSERV`s disk. After this I was able to AFD to the individual files from my VMS account because I am a NAD from there. The only problem I have left is that I can't update the files from there because it says the following: FAC "GMC" does not appear in "GMAIL FILELIST". Here is GMAIL FILELIST. Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong? I was using PROGRAMS FILELIST as an example for the FACs. I am not able to find the syntax for FACs in the LISTSERV Docs. Thanks.
