BL> Does BossPwd mean *my* pasword?

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

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

It's the password you use when communicating with your boss, as opposed to
the password you use when you're communicating with someone else.

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 *.*.

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

Isn't your mail already in one directory?

PE> That's the Outbound keyword.

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

Yes.

BL> directory "c:\outbound". Will "d:\outbound"
work? Or does it have to be
BL> "\outbound"?

You will need the *.* I think.  It is possible that you can leave off the
*.*, but I sure wouldn't try that first go.

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

BL> Gee... now I'm a system.

You have been for a year.

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

Er, this is a file-transfer program, not a directory manager.  BFN.  Paul.
