Ah, yes, that's it!!! I did get that message. I will try to not put any
return after it next time. I use Exchange on NT 4.... it's very
meddlesome in things like this. I wouldn't be surprised if it adds a
return to my email. I could use Netscape or IE for email or some other
mailer; however, I have no idea how to "be" the acct from which the
listserver will process my commands. Will figure out something!

Thanks again!!!
