Greetings,

I'm new to this list so I ask that you all forgive my ignorance while 
I get up to speed.  I have a Cobalt Raq3 and use the control panel 
interface that Cobalt provides to create lists for a client.  The 
client is a friend of mine and is having trouble finding the commands 
required to...




1.	Create a digest version of an existing list. Our control 
panel lets us create a list so we made a new list that has the same 
name as our list but with "-digest" appended to the name.  So 
'OurList' would be the name of the list and the digest version 
created has the '-digest' appended and looks as follows:

'OurList-digest'

But when we send commands to configure the 'digest' version of the 
list we are told no digest exists.

What we do not understand most of all is that if the digest gets its 
info from the original list, how could a digest be a separate list? 
How can it not be a result and not a command within the originating 
list?





2.	Manually switch people to/from (subscribe/unsubscribe) the 
digest version of the list because the Cobalt doesn't seem to provide 
any way of doing that.

Can anyone help with the easiest method of accomplishing that goal?

I have attempted to get help from the company we lease our machines 
from in the resolution of these questions to no avail.

I have recently installed MajorCool on the Cobalt machine and was 
lucky enough to get someone to sit with me for two hours during the 
installation process but we were unable to get that working either. 
This is why I'm hoping someone here has had some experience with this 
issue on a Cobalt Raq3 running Linux.  We've been struggling with 
this stuff for months.

On a side note...  This client/friend of mine is a well known author 
who helps her readers every day and posts help on several lists 
herself.  Unfortunatly, so far, we've had no luck getting the answers 
we need to put this problem to rest.  Your help will be greatly 
appreciated.  Really.


Thanks in advance,

Mario A. Salinas
