The file is FILMSKUL FAQ (as in Frequently Asked Questions). So, to nab it, send the following in an e-mail message to [log in to unmask] Please note that this command goest to LISTSERV, not to SCREEN-L: GET FILMSKUL FAQ Please note that there is no period in the file name either--as in MS-DOS filenames. Here's some more, general info on the FILELIST. Hope this clears it up. SCREEN-L FILELIST is an archive of text files related to film and TV. E-mail users may retrieve these files through normal e-mail channels without using File Transfer Protocol (FTP). To nab a file, send mail to [log in to unmask] (Internet) and put the following command in the very first line of the message: GET <filename> <filetype> Replace "<filename> <filetype>" with the name and type of the file you want. In the example above, the name is FILMREG and the type is TXT. So, the command would be: GET FILMREG TXT Note: there is no period between the filename and filetype as there is in MS or PC DOS. When listserv receives that command it will send the file to your regular mail address. There are a few other files on SCREEN-L FILELIST as well as files containing ALL of the messages ever posted on SCREEN-L. Here's a quick list of the current holdings. If you have a file pertaining to film/TV studies that you'd like to make available via SCREEN-L FILELIST, contact Jeremy Butler ([log in to unmask]) for more information.
