The only problem with this method is that LISTSERV may not have the disk accessed. In that case, I suppose you could TELL LISTSERV CMS ACCESS nnn x . Then ERASE, as you describe above, and finally nuke the database pointers which aren't any good any more: TELL LISTSERV CMS ERASE listname DBNAMES x TELL LISTSERV CMS ERASE listname DBINDEX x The next time someone does an LDBASE against the list these files will automatically be rebuilt. Or if you want to clean things up right away, do a LDBASE yournode SELECT * in listname QUIT (Me? I'd log on as LISTSERV, do a SHUTDOWN, and just do the ERASEs.) /b
