Hallo Richard


 RW> I have the following mask defined:

 RW> mask *, *, boatfinder, 1:116/901.0, *, *
 RW> Action runexternal h-search [repfile] [subject]
 RW> Action delete

 RW> h-search is a batch file. [..]

NetMgr is also a little dense and can't guess your thoughts. If you mean
"batch file" you have to write a name of a batch file:
'h-search.bat'.


 RW> WHat am I missing?

Too much DOS-habit.  ;)
