Ah that explains it, thanks.

Yes I'd go for all lower case or allow for either flag1A.ans or flag1a.ans

Does file extn case sensitivity also apply? e.g. file.ans vs file.ANS or does Mystic not mind?

OK understand thanks, I can see how that works from a within a logged in to the BBS scenario.

Adding Alt-S aka NP menu command to the snoop task bar would be nice as/when you have time.

Thanks for the reply and info :)
