Bill,

Per your request:

When you subscribed to the list server, you got a long note that told you
lots of neat things. If you still have that note, you may want to re-read
it (if not, send me your Internet address and I'll forward a copy to you).

Here's the scoop on accessing earlier items:

    Send a 1 line note of "INDEX NOMAD2-L" to the LISTSERV userid (don't
    send it to the NOMAD2-L userid). This will give you a list of monthly
    archive log files. Once you get that list, you can "order" a file
    by a 1 line note of "GET NOMAD2-L LOGxxxx", where LOGxxxx is the
    log file you want. Note: no double quotes on the requests ... I put
    them in above to delimit the commands from the surrounding text.

P.S. Are you the same Bill Ryan who used to teach NOMAD classes? I had
     a Bill Ryan as an instructor in the Advanced NOMAD2 Workshop way
     back in 1985 (the Jurassic NOMAD days).
