* LISTMAST REFCARD: Commands for the LISTSERV maintainer *

************************************************************
Commands are listed in alphabetical order, with the minimum acceptable
abbreviation in capital letters. Angle brackets are used to indicate
optional parameters. All commands which return a file accept an optional
'F=fformat' keyword (without the quotes) that lets you select the format
in which you want the file sent; the default format is normally
appropriate in all cases. Some esoteric, historical or seldom-used
commands and options have been omitted.
