First - I do *not* do netmail. Only one of the BBSes I visit will tell
me that I have netmail addressed to me. So, I am answering your question
about "cwt" here, in open forum.

CWT is the abbreviation for hundredweight. During the nineteenth century, 
hundredweight became popular as a standardized measurement to simplify 
business functions like setting freight rates. The hundredweight is 
rarely used today. (Except for old fogies like me)

"C" the Roman representation of 'century' or 100 - combined with the
common English abbreviation for weight (WT) is how it came about. Just
another British shorthand/slang term.   Bv)=

  on a rack set in a shallow baking pan in middle of oven
  until just hot, about 2 minutes.
