Did I made a mistake in the past, so the FILELIST is >locked? You didn't do anything wrong. It simply means that the Listserv which hosts your list has put a lock on your filelist so that only you can change it. This way, someone else can't change it before you send back your copy of the filelist to the Listserv. This is what's supposed to happen so that multiple people can't change the filelist at the same time and mess up the changes the other people were attempting to make. If you're the only person with authorization to change the filelist you're working on, its not an important thing to worry about though.
