Don, did you define SAMPLE FILELIST in LISTSERV FILELIST ? (you need to put
the /F/ flag too) if you omit the /F/ flag, listserv will not search SAMPLE
FILELIST for that file, thinking that SAMPLE FILELIST is just an ordinary
file..
 
BTW:
I had also discovered a shortcut for * FILEID files. I store my software files
on the A(191) disk, so I simply put:
 
1
*DEFAULT* A LSV_LCLD
> * * = = A
 
in the fileid file, meaning that all the files have the identical name on the
disk, and I don't need to touch the * FILEID files ever again.  -turgut
