Dear Hamid and LSTOWN-L Folks, >how to edit or delete list Archives? Because the thing being discussed is called at least three names, one would first do these three searches: search (edit archive) or (delete archive) in lstown-l search (edit log) or (delete log) in lstown-l search (edit notebook) or (delete notebook) in lstown-l Among other things, you'll find you want to read at least these messages, for the mechanics: getpost LSTOWN-L 002195 018896 018926 getpost LSTOWN-L 022456 022458 025663 getpost LSTOWN-L 025664 025138 025155 025156 Commands above should be sent to Peach, of course: <[log in to unmask]> Which will eventually lead you to: http://www.lsoft.com/manuals/owner-faq.stm#8 Which (now) points to: http://www.lsoft.com/manuals/1.8d/qs/editlogs.html For whatever it's worth, I like Programmers File Editor (PFE) for editing large text files (and small files, too). http://www.simtel.net/pub/dl/11983.shtml or http://www.winsite.com/info/pc/win95/misc/pfe101i.zip Oh, if you have a choice, you should read and consider the many opinions about the rightness or wrongness of editing logs/notebooks/archives - you'll get an adequate flavor of this from the searches above, I think. [But not from just the getposts.] It's almost religious. Save a backup, too, in case of disaster. I wish you well.
