remote access has three dates stored in its database for each file...

  actual file date
  upload date
  last download date

when i pull files en mass, sometimes i have to adjust their file dates
otherwise they get the date i downloaded them... that generally depends on
how i download them (eg: http ftp etc)... i've got a script that i run that
sets the file date to the newest file in the archive... then when i import
them into the filebase, they have the proper "upload" date...
lastly i have a process that sets the last download date to the upload date
so they don't show any weird dates...

every time i look at a different bbs package, i hope to find at least all
the existing functionality i currently have plus maybe something new ;)

there's probably a language macro for that value that you can add to the
prompt... i'm guessing that MBSE has macros to access the various values
for the current user's record along with their current location in the
message and file bases... it seems to be a pretty standard function... the
real question is how complete is the list ;)
