Hello All,

Can someone point out why the Listserv for this group will not respond
to my request to INDEX PICLIST. I am sending the request to
LISTSERV@MITVMA.MIT.EDU with the subject INDEX PICLIST and also with
INDEX PICLIST as the sole wording in the message body (I am using all
caps). I have re-read the initial subscription document quite a few
times (contains the instructions on getting an index) and darned if I
can see what I'm doing wrong.  When I send the request the Listserv
responds with an error message. I have rechecked the e-mail that I
initially sent to subscribe to this group and I see nothing in
comparison to indicate the error of my ways. If it matters, I use
Netscape 3.0 for e-mail.

I usually like to hold back, watch, listen, read the FAQ's and get up to
speed some before posting my first message in a new group. It's a damn
shame that I have to go and ruin my good name right out of the bag like
this ( that newbie stamp stays with you for years ). So please point out
the obvious - but be gentle with me...

( Sorry for posting this to the whole group, but I haven't seen any info
indicating who the "big dog" is.)
