Pshaw. I'm a sysop, I don't read docs! ;)

Looks like in your case you don't change things to lowercase on your Linux
machine. I'd rather do that, hence the -L parameter. Also, -qq on Linux
runs even quieter than just -q.

Zip is all I need. The other two are completely pointless for mail these
days. I'm not even going to use ZIP unless someone actually wants to change
their default setting of NONE.

That said, in both the Area manager and Node manager, it's not looking like
my F-keys are working. Is there something I'm missing here?

Regards,
Nick
