  It sounds great, Paul, but in that case I don't have a clue what I'm
doing wrong.
 
  My operating procedure is to reply, exit and save the rep packet,
and then edit the rep packet the next day. There are three
control.dats involved, and this is how I think thay are used:

1.  TENMIN.TBL that PKT2QWK reads and creates a control.dat in the
    QWK packet?
2.  BlueWave reads the control.dat in the qwk packet and creates
    TENMIN.INF that it uses to create REP packets.
3.  QWK2PKT reads the CONTROL.DAT stored separately.

  If I just let the thing run, it works, but I can't get a control.dat
with your correct name. It is a nuisance to have ot use a control dat
that lists your BBS as `A BBS somewhere, A.Sysop.

Regards,
Bob
