Thanks for reply to 1 - actually I've solved this particular one - the
default database was wrong and Lsoft was creating all the lists in a new
table:

The problem I'm having now is that when I then try to subscribe a new
subscriber to the list, it says he's already subscribed even though he's not
entered into the list in the dbms  . . .
