Hmmm, do I REALLY want a script

Possibly not.  First ? is what about setuid,
but not much better, eh?

What is the need for the script?  Have you
looked into other options for mail lists?

PS> 2nd, 3rd, or 4th year newbie,
depending on how you look at it
(long story).  I read -questions, and
never thought about reading here.
My advice is well written, generally,
but occasionally wrong.  (Although
I'm finding more typos when I use
the laptop, which is often now.) Just 
give the *correct* facts...most likely
I'll never flame you....
