Drew, thanks for passing along the information! I did try the link for Craig
McClanahan's posting link and received "An invalid parameter was passed to
the CGI function." error message.
A related question. I tried to get the information on searching using the
"INFO DATABASE" command sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] per the instructions
from Sun. I received the following response to the "INFO DATABASE" command.
> INFO DATABASE
This server does not have any file by the name "LISTDB MEMO".
Any suggestions? I am sure it is something simple that I am doing wrong and
will be embarrassed but it would not be the first time. :-)
regards,
Bill Bomberry
