The commands were deliberately engineered to be inconsistent to keep us ham-fisted yokels away from the caps-lock? Talk about Biff-o-phobia! OK... I can live with it. The underlying reason I appear to care is that I have a subscribe-by-owner list with two geographically distant owners, one who forwards the requests back to listserv, the other who just mails them. Anyway, I'll just fix the carnage manually, and ask them to respect the case. -Kary
