Subject: creating a simple list

I am looking to create a very simple mailing list, one that only has two 
functions - give the user back a list of files, allow the user to get one 
of those files.

Say the user sent a first message to the mailing list "info" and my list 
automatically responds with the list of archive files. Then the user
sends a message to "info" requesting one of those files, or more (?).

I want the user to avoid sending a message to "majordomo" like this:
index info

What can be done to achieve this?

info:"|/usr/local/majordomo/wrapper majordomo -l info" sends an intro 
type message; can I change that to send an index with a different intro?

How then can the user send "info" the command:
get info <file>

I am assuming that I could always write another perl script to pass to 
wrapper, but I don't have the time for that.

Thanks for any pointers,

jeff
