I don't see a problem as long as  you do NOT use TELL. Creating a list is
something  "important", you  can't afford  losing one  of the  parameters
because a  link went down. Another  thing is that most  people don't have
access to  TELL. So what  you want is a  program that asks  questions and
prepares a list header, then mails it to someone for processing. This can
be a human  being or a server  that would check everything  and issue the
PUT  command. The  problem  as  usual is  writing  an  interface for  200
different environments...
