introduction and request for help

Hello. I am a newbie at running the list software. It is part of my web hosting package, but no online or paper manual comes with it. There is the help file that consists of about one paragraph on the server. I need to know if there is a handbook or a web page with more instructions for {SmartList v3.11pre7 1997/04/28 written and created by Stephen R. van den Berg}? For instance, I need to know how to ask for more than one message out of the archive say messages 20 through 45. I appreciate any help that might be offered. I promise to read the manual if there is one! Cindy For products designed for chemically sensitive people, try http://www.zavanahbay.com
