Hi, I thought I was dreaming over the last year or so, but I looked into this and Bill Gruber helped confirm it: When you have a limit on the number of postings to a list, and you HOLD/FREE the list before the limit is reached (or any time?), then the counter of the number of posts gets reset to zero. I think the way it should work is that the counter is not affected by the HOLD/FREE command at all, but should just keep on counting and still automatically HOLD the list when the limit is reached. If the list is held automatically, then a FREE command should take it from there with the counter no longer being checked. Of course, the counter should be reset to zero when the new day arrives (depending on a parm command or the system time?) to make it a daily limit. It might also be nice to be able to send a command that would add a specific amount more to the list limit for one day only, say by adding 10 more to the limit (which will autoFREE the list and process the 10 more and hold itself again). Anyone else seen this problem? ** ------------------------------------------------------------------ ** ** Geert K.
