Within the framework of three-flavor neutrino oscillations, we consider the physics potential of \nu_e --> \nu_\mu appearance and \nu_\mu --> \nu_\mu survival measurements at a neutrino factory for a leading oscillation scale \delta m^2 ~ 3.5 \times 10^{-3} eV^2. Event rates are evaluated versus baseline and stored muon energy, and optimal values discussed. Over a sizeable region of oscillation parameter space, matter effects would enable the sign of \delta m^2 to be determined from a comparison of \nu_e --> \nu_\mu with \bar\nu_e --> \bar\nu_\mu event rates and energy distributions. It is important, therefore, that both positive and negative muons can be stored in the ring. Measurements of the \nu_\mu --> \nu_\mu survival spectrum could determine the magnitude of \delta m^2 and the leading oscillation amplitude with a precision of O(1%--2%).
