I have no idea how many systems we represent between us. One of us, I know, uses TELL commands, but, since TELL never worked from my system (Vax running VMS), however, I've always used e-mail for all listserver commands. Never had a problem unless listserv wasn't speaking to me, or listening to me, which is more to the point -- but that happens with TELL, also, of course. Mario Rups [log in to unmask]
