 CR>  Norton Commander CAN NOT read

That's exactly what I did and it did happen, but I found out about that 
efore
I posted, as I said.
What I finally did so that my off line reader would work with QMW95 was to
DELETE ALL paths that lead to uploads and downloads, then created a short
path of C:\Mustang\..
..
Upload
Download
H-UP
H-DN
Now all files work just fine with host, reader, and file xfers. Why didn't
MSI make it this simple in the first place?
Now only two problems exist to fix.
1.  I get no page alert tone when someone is trying to page me while using
    host.
2.  When I have connected with the BBS and wish to play a game like L.O.R.D.,
    the colors are so dark in the game as to be almost unreadable.
    Now the BBS can control his screen colors, but most likely he / she can
    not configure the colors of the game.  This does not happen in 153, why
    in QMW95?
It appears that the main problem was a rush to be ready for the release of
Win95 and it was needed more engineering.  Yes there is a rather large patch
to all this, it is not on MSI's BBS but can be placed there in a file
attachment by asking tech dept. it is called: QMWin95.zip
The .EXE file is 1287712 in size with a date of 12-8-95 and your version
should read 200a after the patch.
