I'm trying to create a FILELIST so a list owner can create a WELCOME
banner.  I got the LSVOWNER package from LISTSERV at UBVM.  I tried it,
step by step.  The steps are:
------------------------beginning of steps---------------------------
Steps for the LISTSERV Postmaster:
( 1) You must get the LISTSERV Postmaster to create the files:
     listname FILEID
     listname FILELIST
( 2) listname FILEID should have only one line in it which has a 1 in
     column 1.
( 3) listname FILELIST should look similar to the following:
/F/  listname  FILELIST   ALL OWN . . . . . This file
( 4) The LISTSERV Postmaster then uses the following command to get the
     LISTSERV FILELIST:
     TELL LISTSERV GET LISTSERV FILELIST (CTL
( 5) The LISTSERV Postmaster then edits LISTSERV FILELIST to add the
     following line in the files area:
/F/  listname  FILELIST   ALL OWN . . . . . This file
     Note: The /F/ must begin in column 1.
( 6) The LISTSERV Postmaster then uses the following commands to make
     this all work:
     LSVPUT listname FILEID (PUTC
     LSVPUT LISTSERV FILELIST
     LSVPUT listname FILELIST
-------------------------end of steps-----------------------------------
 
The "LSVPUT TES1-L FILEID (PUTC" worked fine, but I can't get
the "LSVPUT LISTSERV FILELIST" to work.
I get the following error mail (note, I want PRV instead of ALL, but
I still get the same result with ALL).

Creation of new FILELISTs requires postmaster intervention:
  TEST1-L  FILELIST   PRV OWN  . . . . . This file
PUT request rejected.
 
------------------end of error mail---------------------------------------
 
Here is my LISTSERV FILELIST that I'm trying to LSVPUT:
 
-------------------beginning of filelist------------------------------------
*
*  Master LISTSERV filelist
*
*  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.

* Those filelists  which have a PUT  code of N/A are  either maintained *
* automatically by LISTSERV or come in as part of the LISTSERV software *
* package and can therefore not be changed by the installation.         *

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?  I'll be VERY happy to see the
LISTSERV Maintainers Guide!  Thanks, in advance, for any assistance.
