OK... but then it does* appear that your use of OMX with BW does change
things from what would be "normal" operation for BW.  An opened REP
packet in my setup wouldn't send anything.  If I were to exit BW, or
shell to DOS, and leave the REP open, it wouldn't even show up in my
directory as existing, so I couldn't upload it anywhere.

Apparently OMX overrides the use of the Alt-X for fast exit capabilities
then...  Once a rep is closed, so that it can be sent, there aren't any
temp files around holding the messages to dupe them, in my setup.
