Some senseless babbling from Steve Mccrystal to Mike Ruskai
on 09-04-99  07:21 about Classic REXX files?...

I don't know if I received it, actually.  The BBS I'm posting from has a 
shortcut to the QWK menu that skips all the usual logon stuff.  And I don't 
believe personal mail is bundled.  

I did see a public mention of that malfunction, and I'm at a loss to 
explain it.  What exactly is the error message?
