Sorry to try your patience Chris.  I did save the instruction and printed it
out so I could follow directions while typing.  Somehow I used the wrong
message syntax.  I think I was putting an "e" on the end of "listserv".
Anyhow I got off and will remain off until the end of our kayak trip.

Thanks also to Sean for his advice.
