Dear Biomch-L readers,
Once-in-a-while, your moderators receive requests from subscribers about
how-to-do-this-or-that; while we are happy to help out (it's part of the
kudoes as my fellow-Europeans across the North Sea like to put it), there
are standard help files available that provide the replies to most FAQ's
(Frequently Asked Questions). Below is the reply from LISTSERV@HEARN on
BITNET / LISTSERV@NIC.SURFNET.NL on the Internet to the one-line query
info ?
in the main body of an e-mail note. The same information is sent back
interactively if the question is issued interactively on BITNET.
Each individual file can be retrieved with the proper term replacing the
question mark above, e.g., "info pr", "info presentation", etc; alterna-
tively, one could use the standard send ( or get) command, e.g.
send listpres memo
get listearn memo
etc. These commands are case-insensitive (unlike filenames in FTP commands
on the Internet).
On behalf of the two other moderators, may I suggest that you keep a copy
of this posting in a safe place, and retrieve some of the files identified
below? I would recommend PR, GEN, REF, FILE, and DATABASE.
With kind regards -- hjw.
