To start with, putting files on the A disk is not a good idea, because then you won't remember what is yours and what is standard LISTSERV, and you don't want to fill in the A-disk with files and then have LISTSERV stop working because of disk full. Then storing files under their real names opens up security holes, ESPECIALLY IF DONE ON THE A-DISK which holds all the execs and modules ran by LISTSERV. Eric
