Fido messaging is always a bit of a bear, even for those of us who run a 
local net and link directly to a regional FTP site.  But your friend might do 
much better if she became a point and used FTN-compatible software.  This 
business of uploading .QWK packets is a real pain which is why I gave it up 5 
yeaes ago.
Take care,
