Thankyou, *why* that eluded me is a mystery, but I tried that (well) after my note only to discover another problem.

Appreciate the help I have received from the list. --joe ________________________________________ From: LISTSERV Site Administrators' Forum <[log in to unmask]> on behalf of k p <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Saturday, June 21, 2014 9:03 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: manually assigning a password You can find password command documentation here: http://www.lsoft.com/manuals/16.0/htmlhelp/site%20managers/LSCommands.html#2337358 and site maintainer command documentation here: http://www.lsoft.com/manuals/16.0/htmlhelp/site%20managers/LSCommands.html#2337220 So what you want to do is: for [log in to unmask] PW ADD newpassword You were really close, it doesn't begin with SET.
