Hello Nancy, nice talking to you !  

 NB> From my own experience, there are some bbs softwares that do NOT have
 NB> any good, easy or reliable way to reset pointers for downloading
 NB> message packets.  Doc's Place is using Wildcat, which IS one of the
 NB> decent ones for resetting pointers, either individually or using the
 NB> .PTR file.

        Too advanced for my use, Nancy, my way of resetting the message
   numbers back a few has been fine and expeditious too. What do you
   do with the .ptr file ? Feed it back to the BBS ? If the D/L is
   trashed, this file would be too, no ?

        Have a great day.
