I think we are headed down the right path now. 

In the Blue Wave directory, make a Download Directory: 

C:\BWAVE\REC


Then go into: 

Setup/Configure Mail Reader

Directories

Download Directory C:\BWAVE\REC\


After that, whenever do a ZOC downloaded of a QWK packet to your 
normal ZOC Download Directory, either Copy or Move it to the one in 
the Blue Wave directory. 

Make sure the copy is NOT marked Read-Only. 
You will want to verify this the first few downloads, just to be sure. 

If you Copy the file, depending on how you download, remember to 
go back and Delete the one in the original ZOC Download Directory, 
before doing another download. 

Also make sure that BW renames the QWK file: 

Setup/Configure Mail Reader

Global

Mail Packet Options

Automatic packet rename        Yes
