Re: Default Resource File

Thank you. I don't want to specify a specific rcfile for certain archives.
I would like to just have a default rcfile for all 250 lists that I
archive. How do I specify a default rcfile for all archives and where must
that rcfile live?

I also am a bit hazy as to how I specify environmental variables. Is there
a file that they are listed in and where does that file live?

I have been reading the docs and faqs and mailing lists, but this is still
confusing to me.
