This is most likely a FAQ, but even after reading over all of the
documentation I have gotten from here and there, I am still confused.
 
I currently am the owner of two mailing lists.  One is just your standard
discussion list while the other is pertaining to a project that several
people are banding together to work on.
 
One of the things I would like to do is to make a series of files
available via the listserv for persons to get.  This saves having to
either locate an FTP site or having eveyone on the list mail to me to get
copies.
 
My question is:  Is it possible for me as owner (but not postmaster) to
both place and remove available files?  And if so, can someone send me
step-by-step instructions that a moron like myself will be able to
understand?
 
According to the reference file, this is what you have do to PUT a file on:
 
PUT          fn ft <filelist <NODIST>>         Store a file on LISTSERV
             <"parameters"> <PW=password>       (optional parms and password)
             <RECFM=V|F> <LRECL=nnn>            (physical file attributes)
 
But I am confused about how that all works, what the different parameters
are, and essentially the format of the posting document.
 
I really appreciate any help you can provide.
 
Thanks.
