Using a resource file to define these variables will not work. You need to define the variable on the command-line and only reference it in your resource file. For example: mhonarc -definevar 'LIST-NAME=mylist' -rcfile myrc.mrc mylist.mbx In myrc.mrc, you use $LIST-NAME$. You will need to give a different -definevar setting for each list input you are archiving. For example, if I have list called "anotherlist", I would invoke mhonarc as follows: mhonarc -definevar 'LIST-NAME=anotherlist' -rcfile myrc.mrc anotherlist.mbx If you are still confused, better help may be offered if you provide exactly how you call mhonarc for the various lists you archive. --ewh --------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off this list, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message text UNSUBSCRIBE MHONARC-USERS
