 I ran into your problem as well longer ago than I dare to mention.

 The solution is quite simple.

 Wen Binkd compares the filename, the name is fully qualified. Which means
 that the full path to the file is given. If your mask starts with "*' that
 condition is satisfied. So you should be able to use *\046* to match any
 reiceived file that starts with 046.

 I prefer to give the full path, so on my non windows system I would use:
 flag /tmp/nodelist.new /var/spool/ftn/inbound-secure/NODELIST.?[0-9][0-9]

 A wider mask would ofcourse also work, but you never know, what reaches your
 system.

 By the way, I do not use the example above, as the NODELIST is accompanied
 by a TIC file.
