 I'm calling a Wildcat BBS which allows me to enter
 "!joe nicholson password" and takes me directly to
 the QWK door.  I enter "U" to upload a reply packet
 if I have one.  Otherwise, or after upoading, I enter
 "D" and "G" and I have my QWK packet and am off in
 less than 40 seconds.  The "G" lets Wildcat hang up
 after it downloads a QWK packet.

 When I open the QWK packet in BlueWave, I can scan
 to see if there are any new files I might want to
 download next time I call (and the routinge above
 would be slightly altered).  Then I go to the message
 section and can leisurely or hurriedly read depending
 on my mood and schedule.

 The only thing I can't do using BW on a QWK system is
 add and delete message areas to scan.  That has to be
 done while on-line.
