Hello Wilfred!

Within the same batch file tho.. I have a menu'd batch file..

Categories arrayed horizontally with drop down menu's, fire up fastechoes
to take a look.. I am you should copy verbosely, but fsetup is crowded on
the left.

Oh and one more thing, where is the command to delete the arcmail bundles
after they get tossed?

I have to run a post toss cmd file like so:


=== Cut ===
{at}echo off

cdd d:\fidonet\in

move %1 d:\fidonet\in\archive

=== Cut ===


Now I am not deleteing them here, but I have to move them off else I
perpetually toss them.
