Bob,

I use BBSSpawn-is that what you're talking about?

Here's my (not completed) BT.CMD:

{at}echo off

rem Midnight's Hour BBS BinkleyTerm batch file
rem Last updated on 12 April 2002 at 2105 CDT

if NOT '%1' == '' goto Start
goto end

:Start
d:
cd\bt

:Loop
  bt32.exe task=%1 %2 %3 %4 %5
  If ErrorLevel = 254 Goto end
  If ErrorLevel = 100 Goto Nightly
  If ErrorLevel =  96 Goto BBS
  If ErrorLevel =  90 Goto InetRun
  If ErrorLevel =  54 Goto BBS
  If ErrorLevel =  30 Goto MailReceived
  If ErrorLevel =  24 Goto BBS
  If ErrorLevel =  12 Goto BBS
  If ErrorLevel =   1 Goto end
  Goto end

rem --> Errorlevel 100
:Nightly
rem *** Pack all the Squish message bases ***
goto loop

rem *** Nightly door maintenance ***
goto loop

rem --> Errorlevel 30
:MailReceived
d:
cd \bt\in
rem ** Copy all mail to \MAILBAK in case
rem ** something goes awry
if exist d:\bt\in\*.* copy *.* d:\mailbak

d:
cd \bt
goto loop

rem *** Call the BBS via BBSBATCH.CMD ***
:BBS
d:
cd \bt
bbsbatch
goto loop

:end
...

Note that a lot of that is stuff that I dredged up from years before...I'm
¨still having to relearn all of this!

Later,
Sean
