Lyle,  For your OLX you can do as I did. I saved the OLX that came with
the QMpro v1.53 and use it in QMWin95. Easy way to access it is to use
one of the Macrobar buttons. To set it up Pull down TOOLS window select
CUSTOMIZE then select MACROBAR. When dialog box opens select a number
key then in Assignments select an unused box (I used the Alt+Shift box)
and type in   @SHELL C:\QMWIN\OLX\OLX.EXE   (path to your OLX). Then
under Labels in box adjacent to this command type  OLX  Then save this
as your default or other "filename.mac", then load this one, close
dialog box. Then click on the Macrobar until the Assignment key you
select displays and then click on the OLX button and you will shell to
OLX.  I don't know if they have an OLX for WIN95. At least none came
with the version 2 Disks of QMWIN95 I got.  Hope this helps.
HINT:  If you continue to use the QMpro 1.53 you will have to use the
same DOWNLOAD and UPLOAD directories for both 1.53 and win95 as OLX is
configured where to look for the QWK packets
LT>Modem commands.

I didn't think so either. Pull down CONNECTIONS window and select DIRECT
CONNECTION. You can then access modem from terminal screen. Page 30 of
users Guide.  I didn't see that either. Gwen Barnes told me how to do
this then like a dummy I seen it in the book.
Those are the only two things I can (hopefully) help you with Lyle.
