Please be very careful with this.  The sendsys command is a control command that
is sent out to other systems that will cause them to return a copy of their sys
files to you.  If you want to check with just one system use the to.system group
to make sure that it only goes to that one group.  If you want to know what a 
lot of others have let me know and I will send you the approximatly 7 MB that
I received when I let a sendsys request get out without a restricted 
distribution on it.
