LSVSORT removes the first PW= even if it was NOT a store function. If a user is added, or subscribes, or whatever else causes LSVSORT to be invoked, LSVSORT goes ahead and deletes the first line if it is a PW= regardless of what function did this. Circumvention: Do not place the real PW= on the first line. Suggestion: Move the PW= deletion to the code for the store function, rather than have LSVSORT do it. Having LSVSORT check to see what function is being performed violates the idea of modular coding.
