>>>> What were you trying to do?
Use listmaint to add the string gnn@ai.mit.edu to the list mitlpf.
>>>> What's wrong:
When, in "members mitlpf", I typed
add
and then, at the next prompt,
string
I got an error message. When I did
add string
I succeeded. Otherwise, the failed and successful sessions (which
follow) were identical.
