Then perhaps you could explain what combinations of attributes 
are required to be set by Bob in order for him to send a file
to my BBS and have my BBS hold it for pickup by a remote point
(who is not known to my system), when all of my mail is normally
routed through to Dave, and I have stripattributes in squish to
stop people sending me files marked "crash".  Because I sure don't
know.  And one of the hold combinations requires the setting of
TWO flags (or so I recall from SQDEV200 I think).  BFN.  Paul.
