G'day Roy, 
  You can have great fun writing scripts in Telemate. 
The script works from within Telemate not the Mail Reader. 
I have found that you need to play around with the correct 
delays and answers to prompts on different BBS's to get 
successful results. But once perfected it can be fantastic.

Madhouse.rep is created by my Offline QwkMail reader which 
stores it in \telemate\upload\ ready for upload. 
Madstore.bat uses pkzip to zip the .rep packet and append 
it to Mailout.zip, so I have a record of what I said. :-) 
As you can see, if the .rep packet was u'loaded successfully 
then it is zipped and stored before the original is deleted. 
Have fun ...
