Ah.  NOW I know what you are wondering about.  :)  That column just lets
you know if you have a .rep (or .new) reply packet for that bbs or not. 
It will say "No" if you don't have one (or you've renamed the old one
such that it isn't recognizable by the reader), "Yes" if you have one
sitting there but not open at the moment, or "Open" if you have one
there that you are in the process of adding messages to (for instance,
if you have two or more days worth of message packets from Doc's that
you are reading and replying to), a common occurence here.  

You will only see the "Open" if you don't have the settings set to close
the reply packet upon closing the message packet, ie, set to close the
reply packet(s) upon exiting the reader instead.  (Read the help files
for the different options in global, mail packet options.)

As you might guess, I'm getting packets from multiple bbs's (7 of the 8
I "call")...  and I often don't get back to them for a couple of days,
so I have a list of packets to deal with all the time (with .qwk packets
carefully renamed so that they don't clobber each other...).
