OK, I think I get it. (Couldn't find the LISTSERV TIPS file.) If I set ACK= YES, senders get notification by MAIL. If I set ACK= NO, senders get an interactive message. Is that it? Must be, my one list has ACK= NO and the one that's sending mail has ACK= YES. I'm still interested in hearing more on the file server functions and how in the blazes to access them. Sorry to send such a hasty question across the net, but I was panicking! -----------------------------------------------------BITNET: NBRINDLE@INDYCMS Nathan C.
