LISTSERV has <always> processed commands in the order received, particularly if they are typed sequentially in the same message. My guess is that if your experience is different, it means that the first command probably required a password (or had a typo) and was rejected, after which the next command was processed in order. It is flatly impossible for LISTSERV to switch the order of commands that it receives in the body of the same message. This would be like saying that line 20 of a program executed before line 10 (assuming of course that line 5 didn't say GOTO 20 :) Nathan
