If your files are the equivalent of notebooks, just name them in the same format as LISTSERV notebook files ( listname.log????? ), put them into the same directory your list's LISTSERV-created notebook files go, and they will show up in the output of an INDEX LISTNAME command. If you want to do fancier indexes, or do things that are named in some way besides the logfile format, you have a problem with the current file system. But considering that the search functions are now running in the LISTSERV 1.8c betas, maybe the advanced file server functions aren't as far off any more either ... > There are files called filelists but I cannot figure out how they work.

How do I do this????? Make a fake list used for nothing but accessing that collection of files, and name all the files listname.log????? Sorry if you already had an answer to this ... I'm behind on some of my mail. -- Norm "Enfiels couple slain; Police suspect homicide"
