AL:PG>     When I upgraded to QMPro (been a lonnggg time gone now) I
AL:PG>     was pleased to see that they allowed for the separation of
AL:PG>     the QWK/REP directories from the DOWNLOAD/UPLOAD
AL:PG>     directories.  Well, that's what we thought at the time.
AL:PG>     When MSI was questioned why the separation didn't work (QWK
AL:PG>     packets are still dl'd to the DL directory and the REP
AL:PG>     packets must still be in the designated UL directory) they
AL:PG>     treated those that questioned like they were idiots.
AL:The problem here is, that you apparently misunderstood what they were
AL:indicating.  You can indeed configure QmodemPro for DOS to utilize up
AL:and download directories that are different from the QWK/REP directories
AL:utilized by OLX v1.53.  However, doing so does not mean that QmodemPro
AL:for DOS sends or receives .QWK mail packets to or from the separate
AL:directories.  Your apparent belief that it should, is incorrect.  If you
AL:wish your QWK/IN directory to be different from your QmodemPro for DOS
AL:download directory, that's just fine and you can have it that way.
AL:However, it necessarily means that after you download a new .QWK mail
AL:packet, that it is also necessary for you to manually move it from the
AL:download directory to the QWK/IN directory so that OLX can find it.
      Tell me . . . what were they indicating?  Their adding
      these unique function . . . what did they actually do?
      We could *always* set up separate directories.
      I'm not exactly sure of what your saying that I
      haven't already said.  I included my belief that
      without actually being functional, there was no
      significance to the -added function-.  You share the
      obvious but you haven't offered any additional
      information or understanding just *how* we all gained
      from this -added function-.
      Way back when they first introduced the -added
      function-, it became very apparent that you use it to
      define new directories, but it didn't mean anything.
      Yes.  I knew you could still use the new directories
      and manually move the QWK packets to the *new and
      improved* new directory for anything to work.
      Now what was it we gained again?
      All I was saying, even though I am obviously
      "incorrect", was why didn't they go ahead and make the
      -added function- of some value?
      Again, perhaps *this* time you will help me understand
      what they were indicating . . .
      thanks.
