LISTSERV(R) has been around for more than decade (maybe 16 years?). It isn't a "simple" piece of software and has many parts and interactions. The "bibles" of LISTSERV are maintained in online manuals. Nevertheless, the discussions on LSTOWN-L and LSTSRV-L often amplify. Oh, .HH means HIDE HEADER (list defintion) keywords from non-owners who do a REVIEW listname. It has nothing to do with template processing such as bottom banner. /Pete
