I'm searching other filelists now per your suggestion.  Another
detective question: should not my list's filelist show only filenames
that properly belong in my list?  I ask because my old FAREWELL file is 70
lines long, and when I PUT listname FAREWELL listname  with new text that
is 300 lines long, after that PUT is confirmed the new filelist still
shows that FAREWELL is 70 lines long.  This suggests to me that the PUT
didn't go where I had put it.  Could a mis-filed FAREWELL (the "old"
FAREWELL that I can't get rid of) still show up in my filelist?
