BL> What is Binkley?
 PE> What you've been communicating with every day for the last year
 PE> or whatever. 

  I thought that was the Lebanese lady next door.

 BL> Does BossPwd mean *my* pasword?

 PE> Yes. You don't know anyone else's, do you?

  No... which was why I wondered. Why add "Boss" to no purpose when
"Pwd" would have been perfectly clear?

 BL> How do I change "Outbound *.req" to include *.mo0 as well? Do I
 BL> put a comma between, a semicolon, or just go root my boot?

 PE> You put *.*.

  Then it will send *everything*. I suppose I can learn to live with
that if I wrote a little manager like the one in TinyPoint.

 BL> How does your cfg know where the outbound directory is? Surely,
 BL> you

 PE> That's the Outbound keyword.

  Eh? How the hell can it know if I don't tell it the directory name? Do I
have to put "Outbound d:\tp\up\*.*" or do you mean I have to call my UP
directory "c:\outbound". Will "d:\outbound" work? Or
does it have to be
"\outbound"?

 PE> The inbound directory is the current directory (ie where you
 PE> run it from). You can choose where you want to run it from. 

  Okay...

 BL> System Ten Minute Limit

 PE> No, don't you have "bordering on insanity" or something?
 PE> "Precision Nonsense" it is. 

  Gee... now I'm a system.

 BL> Sysop Paul Edwards

 PE> Everyone is sysop of their own system. Your name is "Bob
 PE> Lawrence".

  Are you sure? I thought it was "B1". That's what it says on my
bananas-in-pyjamas keyring.

 BL> BossPwd   MySecretPasswordNoOneKnowsandYouDon'tHaveToChangeItAgain

 PE> This is not your correct password.  You'll have to put in your real
 PE> password, ie "wollyburger". 

  Every time I tell you my real password you keep changing it. Shit! I
liked "wollyburger." It made a statement about the real me.

 BL> Outbound d:\up*.REQ; d:\tp\tx\*.mo0

 PE> Just *.mo0 or *.*. You have to organize yourself so that you
 PE> copy/move all the stuff into one directory before it gets sent.

  I thought the organising was what the bloody program did. Jeeze, 
you're a shit of a programmer. Bill gates has nothing to fear. You're
supposed to write it so that even a fuckwit can run it, get it all 
wrong, and it still works.

Regards,
Bob
