Hi again,
Thanks for the feedback. I did change the footer using the
web interface, but it didn't screw up anything except add the &
into the footer.
Out of interest, if I use the method you describe above, does
it alter any other lists, or only the one you apply to the list you
issue the command on?
I guess the other minor question I have is - what if I then
wish to apply other footers to other lists?
Should your command actually read:
/bin/config_list -i footer listname
instead of :
/bin/config_list -i foot listname
I'm only guessing that the command needs the name of the file
- in which case I'd name the file 'listname_footer' or something
similar. Thanks again for your help.

Bye for now, Terry Allen
