Thanks to Howard who sent me a copy of FSV GUIDE I discovered that I needed those funny three characters (/F/) at the beginning of the file definition line when I added TEST-L FILELIST to LISTSERV FILELIST. They tell listserv that this was another filelist in its tree. The Owner's Guide (1.8b) didn't mention them. Love this list. Thanks. +-------------------------------------------------+ | Terry A.
