Difference in semantics, I guess. I don't consider the put line to be part of the file, but instructions to LISTSERV as to what to do with the file. Anything following the put line constitutes the file itself, so a blank file is when you send the PUT with absolutely nothing following it, which you cannot do with some mailers, so just switch to a different mailer. You can call it PUTing a file with only the PUT line, or PUTing a blank file, doesn't matter as long as we understand each other. To me, from a practical standpoint, the later is sufficiently descriptive and quicker to type. ;-) Douglas Douglas Winship Austin, Texas [log in to unmask] Secondary AUTOCAT Listowner
