I was thinking about it too, the password is enclosed in quotes for some
reason, however I guess that it is already chopped off during the initial
reading of msged.cfg.  I haven't thought about it much more, am
concentrating on PM programming now. :-)

btw, my Areafix password doesn't have a ';' in it, my Filemanager pw does, I
think. ;-?  Doesn't matter, I don't use it that much and can change it if
necessary.

Nice job!

I would really like to get you PDCOM*.* routines, I am still looking for
them here in the U. S.
