This came from a system running IBM's MVS operating system (TSO??). I believe the immediate message command your looking for is: TRANSMIT LISTSERV@BROWNVM GET APPLE2-L FILELIST If that format is correct, then TRANSMIT LISTSERV@BROWNVM INDEX APPLE2-L will retrieve the same file. If you can't get an immediate command to work, then you can use mail BUT!!! <----- you MUST send the message to: LISTSERV@BROWNVM (two <2> things to notice: LISTSERV is 8 letters with no spaces and the correct address is NOT info-apple@brl.arpa) Leave out the "subject line" (it won't matter if it's there though) and the body of the message should be only INDEX APPLE2-L LISTSERV is a robot adding thank you's, signatures or even "please" will only confuse it. --------------------- Disclaimer: I like my opinions better than my employers anyway...
