Since I'm not sure exactly what it is you don't understand and I don't know what kind of system you're on, I'll try to help by telling you what I do. Say I want to change the daily threshold of WORDS-L to 400. Here's what I would do: (1) Send e-mail to [log in to unmask] with 'get words-l (header' as the complete body of the message. Assuming the system there is up, as it usually is, I'll have the headers in my mail within a few seconds. (2) I take the list of headers LISTSERV has sent me and go into my favorite editor, which happens to be vi. I delete the mail headers, add the password in the PASSWORD=XXXXXXXX line at the top, and change the line I want to change (the daily threshold line). (3) I mail the edited file back to [log in to unmask] Within a few seconds I have a response from LISTSERV saying that the WORDS-L headers have been successfully replaced. --Natalie ([log in to unmask])
