LISTSERV(R), for security reasons, does not have a 'file delete' command. The proper (and only) way to 'delete' a file is to PUT an empty file of the same name. Thus. if you want to get rid of your welcome file you send a msg to your host Command Address: LISTSERV@your_host a one line message: PUT listname WELCOME PW=your_password Make sure your mailer does not add a sig line. There must not be anymore lines in the message. LISTSERV interprets the first line as a command and will replace the named file with whatever follows, in this case, nothing, effictively deleting the file. You will get a confirmation message that says the file has been deleted. -- ________________________________________________________________________ Ben Parker ............ (Oak Park IL) ..........
