Thanks everyone for your help on using the LSVPUT command. I am certainly going to check out that documentation thoroughly. I appreciate your help. Here's another question, though if you don't have time to deal with it, please just ignore it. The question deals with the LIST GLOBAL command. I am asking it just out of curiosity. How does this command work? Where is the data kept? I assume it is on each individual listserv, but how is the list of lists updated and how often? For instance, when a new list is created, when and how is its existance reflected in the global list?
