                          LISTSERV   USER   INSTRUCTIONS

This is a very brief list of Listserv commands. A complete "General User's
Guide" is available, in a variety of formats, from L-Soft International, Inc.
via web at:        http://www.lsoft.com/manuals/userindex.html

The examples presented here are for the  listserv named    UNLBIOINFO
However, the commands will work for any listserv on UNL.EDU if you substitute
the name of the listserv you are working with in place of UNLBIOINFO.

You send commands to subscribe, unsubscribe and set subscription options to
Listserv, a machine which will generally respond back in a few minutes, at:
     LISTSERV@UNL.EDU

To send information to the members (people) of the list, address e-mail to:
     UNLBIOINFO@UNL.EDU

To send information to owner of the list, when you don't know who they are,
address e-mail to:
     UNLBIOINFO-OWNER@UNL.EDU

                             HOW  TO  SUBSCRIBE
Send an e-mail message to:
     LISTSERV@UNL.EDU
In the Message Field (NOT Subject):
     SUBSCRIBE UNLBIOINFO

The items above are case insensitive. You can join as many listservs as you
like with a single e-mail note, but only one subscribe or unsubscribe command
per line.

Example:
     subscribe unlbioinfo
     subscribe examplelist
     unsubscribe anotherlist

NOTE: Do not include signature block, as Listserv will try to interpret each
line as a command.

                                HOW  TO  UNSUBSCRIBE

     LISTSERV@UNL.EDU
In the Message Field (NOT Subject):
     UNSUBSCRIBE UNLBIOINFO

The items above are case insensitive. You can sign off from as many listservs
as you like with a single e-mail note, but only one unsubscribe or subscribe
command per line.

Example:
     unsubscribe unlbioinfo
     unsubscribe examplelist
     subscribe anotherlist

NOTE: Do not include signature block, as Listserv will try to interpret each
line as a command.

                             SUBSCRIPTION OPTIONS

When you subscribe to a listserv, your subscription options will be set to the
defaults of that list. Most of the time the defaults will probably serve you
well. However, you may choose to alter these settings to suit your needs.

All commands are sent via e-mail to:
     LISTSERV@UNL.EDU
and the commands are placed in the Message Field (NOT Subject):

To query (view) your present settings:
     QUERY UNLBIOINFO

To change option setting:
     SET UNLBIOINFO OPTION

                            SELECTED OPTIONS
For full list of options, see the guide mentioned at beginning of this message

OPTION       DESCRIPTION
_________    _______________________________________________________________
MAIL         You are sent individual postings as they are received.

NOMAIL       You will not receive any mail from the list, but are still
             subscribed. Useful when you will not be reading your e-mail for
             an extended time and don't want a full mailbox upon return.

DIGEST       You receive list digests, rather than individual postings. Not all
             listservs provide this option.

NODIGEST     You receive individual postings.

REPRO        You do receive a copy of your own postings.

NOREPRO      You do not receive a copy of your own postings

ACK          Acknowledgement of your postings is sent to you.

NOACK        No acknowledgement of your postings.

CONCEAL      Your subscription is concealed from other members, but not from
             owner. Note-Posting to the list will reveal your presence.

NOCONCEAL    Your subscription is not concealed.


The options above are case insensitive. You can set as many options as you
like, including more than one listserv, with a single e-mail note, but only
one option setting command per line.

Example:
     set unlbioinfo digest
     set unlbioinfo noack
     set unlbioinfo norepro

NOTES:
- You must be subscribed to a listserv to alter your option settings.
- Do not include signature block, as Listserv will try to interpret each line
  as a command.
