Yup, that was it, a path problem.
Thanks so much for your persistence in expaining this to me. It works now and will be of great help in further development of our list service.
I will post something on the list that summarizes the process. It probably should also be posted to be included in the FAQ. How do I do that?

That addtopics.py was a typo. The name of the file is addtopic.py, but when I run withlist, I get the error message that I quoted, that the addtopic module doesn't exist.
I typically keep the *.py files I use with withlist in either the top level Mailman directory (sometimes referred to as $prefix or /usr/local/mailman by default) or in its bin directory. If you put addtopic.py in either of those directories, it should be found whether you invoke withlist as 'bin/withlist' from the top level directory as I suggested, or as './withlist' as you tried.
Do I have to 'install' the module or something?
No. It just needs to be in one of the places Python searches for a module. (This search path can be seen by examining the value of Python's sys.path variable. You could stick a 'print sys.path' just before the try to see the directories that will be searched for your new module.)
