Subject: Monthly Reminder
Dear REVS members,

This is an occasional reminder of some of the listserv commands at your
disposal.  The commands have been capitalized for emphasis.
These commands should be sent to LISTSERV@csf.colorado.edu

If you are going to be away and want to postpone messages from REVS 
send a message to LISTSERV@csf and in the message type:

SET REVS MAIL POSTPONE    <== postpones one's mail
SET REVS MAIL ACK         <== unpostpone one's mail

To unsubscribe from REVS, please mail LISTSERV the message

UNSUB REVS             <== two word command

Most common mistakes:
1. Punctuation marks near the two words    E.g.,
     "unsub revs"       rather than      unsub revs
     >unsub revs        rather than      unsub revs
      unsub revs.       rather than      unsub revs
      unsub <revs>      rather than      unsub revs

2. Trying to unsubscribe from an (internet) .edu address when your
subscription is registered under a .bitnet address.  To determine the
address under which you are subscribed, send listserv@csf the two word
request. This request will also give you a list of all subscribers.
    RECIPIENTS REVS

If your efforts to unsub have been frustrated, please write to
    SPECTOR@NWI.CALUMET.PURDUE.EDU
rather than taking your problem to the list.  It is helpful to
forward a copy the of mail from listserv@csf that shows the
source of your problem.

If you would like to receive REVS messages in batches or digests
instead of message-by-message, send the following command to 
LISTSERV@csf 

If you want to return to message-by-message mail, use the command
    SET REVS MAIL ACK      

If you want to see an index of the logs of past messages and other files
send (to LISTSERV@csf) the command 
    INDEX REVS
The list of files returned from the index command are retrievable with
the get command.  If, for example, you are interested in messages from
December 94, you send a message to LISTSERV@csf and in the body of the
message type
    GET REVS DEC94
           
For friends who would like to subscribe, please have them send the
four/five word cmd 
    SUB REVS Firstname Lastname

REMEMBER: All of these commands should be sent to LISTSERV@csf.colorado.edu
