Hello Keith.

There is a LISTDB MEMO available from most LISTSERVS which will give you
all the information you will need to utilize LDBASE from BITNET sites
or make up BATCH queries to be sent from INTERNET sites

There are two ways that you can get this documentation.
From an INTERNET site you would send MAIL to LISTSERV@FINHUTC.BITNET
Leave the subject line blank and on the first line of the main body
of the mail message write the following:

GET LISTDB MEMO INFO

and send your mail off in about an hour or so you should get
the document... after your mail has been processed.

Alternatively from a BITNET site you can use the "quick and dirty"
interactive method.  On a VAX

SEND LISTSERV@FINHUTC GET LISTDB MEMO INFO

will do the same trick but you will get the document much quicker.

In the near future I will run a search on the people who have registered
on BIONAUT to get some statistics... I hope you will have cracked the
mysteries of searching before that.
