Speaking of which... I've tried this technique in order to avoid sending out the sub_owner file--since I'm already sending out both a welcome (using a modified signup file) and a charter (using a modified addreq1 file) it's redundant. I can't use the sub_owner file for either the charter or welcome, of course, since it's a linear message--everything lumps together in one line. But even when I insert .qq to stop it, I still have the resource utilization info being sent out. Is there some way to kill the message completely? -- Ione -- Ione L.
