The default value is "Auto-Delete= No" for lists with "Validate= All" and "Auto-Delete= Yes,Semi-Auto,Delay(4),Max(100)" for other lists. Per the manuals :) Although actually I need to make a change because "Auto-Delete=" first appeared in 1.7f, before the big changes to the Validate= keyword. So where it says "Validate= All" above we should change that to read '"Validate= Yes" or higher'. So the bottom line is that Auto-Delete is turned off by default unless you have "Validate= No". Nathan
