I am a site administrator and have searched the archives of this list and
have read the Site Manager's Operations Manual to try to answer this
question. Perhaps someone can help. We are running the latest version 1.8c
with the 1.8d upgrades.

I have added a sub-catalog to our site's SITE.CATALOG file to allow the
owner of (let's call it) ANYLIST to manage their own documents. Now let's
call the sub-catalog ANYLIST.CATALOG.  I have PUT ANYLIST.CATALOG with
these lines (skipping "*"s and blanks) to register a single test file:

  put anylist.catalog pw=mypassword
  test.list

That command returned a "successfully stored" message, but I have not
sucessfully PUT test.list yet.  It seems to me that, since there could
ultimately be multiple files in various different sub-catalogs with the
same name, just sending:

  PUT test.list pw=mypassword
  document text

as the documentation says should not be sufficient. How would LISTSERV know
*which* test.file I was talking about? And, in fact, that attempt failed
with a "file is not registered" response. So I tried this:

  PUT anylist test.list pw=mypassword
  document text

and it, too, failed, saying the file is not registered. A "GET
anylist.catalog" command returns the catalog with the "test.file" line, so,
in short,

How does one properly PUT a file that is registered in a sub-catalog?

BYW, I am not the listed "PUT FAC" owner of the file (that's
OWNER(anyfile)) and have been doing my testing as a site administrator.

Thanks.  Ed
