The file server functions are different under VMS, so the advice you've seen on this list (which is at 99% for VM, since the workstation versions are quite new) does not apply. Under VMS, the WELCOME files are implicitly defined. You don't need to edit FILELIST or FILEID files - you can use the PUT command directly to store the file. Another method (for the system administrator) is to simply use TPU to create the file LISTSERV_FILES_DIR:xxxxx.WELCOME. Eric
