(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
