Lyle:   The first thing I would suggest, if your trying to use Win95, is
to forget about trying to use DOS programs like Norton Commander for
looking at PATHS. Paths and Directory Names under Windows 95 can be any
length, NOT 8 characters like in DOS.  Norton Commander CAN NOT read
file names more than 8 characters... therefore it displays them as
C:\program"1 not "program files".  If you had used
C:\progra"1\mustan"1\qmodem"1 you would have had an INVALID Path and
access to NO files... at all.
LT>Oh yes, if I had followed the above path for my host files, those files 
woul
LT>not only have been intermixed with the program files for Qw95 but those
LT>program files would have been available for DL.  The tech could just not 
see
LT>the need to create one ore two folders and name then Hup and Hdown, for 
host
LT>upload and host download and adding them to the paths.
LT>So my two current projects are to Get Silver Xpress to find the mail and 
o
LT>get the macros working that I want to create.
        Use Windows 95 Explorer to check your File Paths and use those
file paths in your macros if you want anything to WORK.
LT>Not being that mush up on Win95, how was I supposed to know and the dox 
said
LT>nothing about it, it even threw tech support for a while.
        Sure, because he was THINKING in Windows 95 and you were talking
DOS Paths...
LT>Or while trying to create a macro to run a shell for a OLX the dox forgets 
t
LT>tell you about the window that shows a tree of files and what to do with
LT>them.
        I know getting used to Windows 95, is a real NEW LEARNING
Experience.  I just switched myself about 2 months ago, and for the
first Month I went NUTS TOO.  But get RID of that old DOS thinking!!  By
the way I have Qmodem Pro working UNDER Windows 95 like a charm... Took
a while, but no more problems now.  I'm also running all my DOS FOXbase
programs under Windows 95 with no problems.
