I looked at your message the other day and nothing seem to click
but tonight when I looked at Gary's reply the light bulb came on.
If your BBS is like one of mine the first time every day you sign
on it has some extra loggon messages that are not there again that
day.
If your script is keying in on some of this info (with a "wait
for") and then the next loggon it is not there this could be
causing a problem. If this is causing your problem then you might
want to look at the "track commands".
I have found that some BBS's are very stable and dependable as to
the sequence of events in the loggon process and other are not.
This depends on the whims of the SYSOP and his setup. I have found
that for the less stable that the Track command works better.
