Yes, do before putting files up.
 
First, get the filelist and include the (CTL switch:
GET MEDLAB-L FILELIST (CTL PW=XXXXXXXX
 
Then edit the filelist as shown below and send back to LISTSERV@UALTAVM
Make sure the PUT command is the first line.
Make sure filenames and filetypes are upper case.
NOTE: Filename and Filetype can each be a max of 8 characters, so I
changed the name of "SELECTED MEDICAL RESOURCES".
 
 
PUT MEDLAB-L FILELIST PW=XXXXXXX
*
*  This file lists the programs that are stored on LISTSERV and can be
*  retrieved by network  users. Certain programs are  not intended for
*  common use and their retrieval is restricted.
*
*  If an entry shows nrecs=0  the file is not available.
*
*  This filelist may  be sorted in columns  47 to 63 to get  a list of
*  files in  the order of  their updates. Sorting in  descending order
*  shows the most recently updated files at the top.
*
* :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
*
*  The GET/PUT authorization codes shown with each file entry describe
*  who is authorized to GET or PUT the file:
*
*     ALL = Everybody
*
*:    MED = 'LSERVE@UALTAVM',
*:          'OWNER(MEDLAB-L)'

Next send the files to the filelist.  Post each file to LISTSERV@UALTAVM,
with the following command as the first line of the post:
PUT [filename] [filetype] [listname] PW=XXXXXXXX
 
Examples:
 
        put medlab-l welcome PW=XXXXXXXXX
        put medical resource medlab-l PW=XXXXXXXX
 
NOTE:  YOU do not need to include the listsname if it is the same as the
filename.
