  Thanks Jason, but I think I've done that. I'm on windows.
I've tried c:\foxy\www\maillist\
                c:\\foxy\\www\\maillist\\
              .//mailist
                      /maillist
                  ../maillist

anything I could think of

and tried to go to c:\foxy\www\maillist\$listname (or newlist - the
current valuse of $listname)
                c:\\foxy\\www\\maillist\\$listname (or newlist - the current valuse of
$listname)
              .//mailist/$listname (or newlist - the current valuse of
$listname)
                      /maillist/$listname (or newlist - the current valuse of $listname)
                  ../maillist/$listname (or newlist - the current valuse of $listname)

none of these and probaly many others, I lost track, work.
