I was thinking more on this (as I am currently going thru a bunch* of
message packets from different bbs's)...  The order of the echoes is
that from the bbs in question in a typical packet.  Now, granted, if the
echos could be listed in alpha order, but the Number was retained and
what was used for listing for tossing (or whatever) the replies in the
packet then things should still work to get them in the right place on
the bbs...  But that could be why the option isn't available for the
echoes listing...?

Hmmm...  see above...  and further, this again seems to be something
that has to do with the fact that you are using BW with OMX as a point
instead of being the typical call-the-bbs-type of user...   So you'd
have to figure out that aspect... and yes it might well mess up your
archives...  :(

 DC> ... The sad thing about bashing Windows:  It's all true.

Yup.
