Hello Jim, nice talking to you !  

 JW> If you guys look at the main menu in the first window that appears in
 JW> BW you will see the option "Setup/Configure Mail Reader".
Click on it.
 JW> Then "Preferences", then "Default Preferences",
and you will find "File
 JW> and String Preferences". Click on it and arrow down to
"Message Save
 JW> File". You will see which file name you are saving messages to. Right
 JW> arrow and change it to "*.txt". Save changes and exit the
 JW> Setup/Configure area. 
 JW> In the BW directory, create as many *.txt files as you need.

        Nice suggestion, Jim, but it is not what I was looking for. I
   most of the time, want to save not a full message but just portion
   of one, ie: one URL to C&P into my browser. Also, if I change the
   "Message Change File" it screws up the .rep too as this is where BW
   saves them before they are packed to a .rep packet. The one by one
   editing of the line is tolerable and I will stick to it  for the
   time being.

 JW> Now, the next time you are reading in BW and save a message, you will
 JW> get a table with choices to save to.

        This might be worth looking into if actually the options are
   offered. I have not gone that step yet.

        Cold there ?

     
       
   Is FIDO not a fine institution ?
             I have to get my fix everyday.
