I think I finally read something about that in the document file. 
I could have redid things, since I was running them from a Win 3.11 
PIF file, and it would only have been a matter of adding those 
parameters to the executable line. 

My problem is trying to remember to do that when I actually start the 
program from DOS. 

Different: 
Work Directory
Reply Directory

and make sure not to open the same message packet with both BW at once. 

Is there a place to change the name of the temporary message file name 
(MSGTEMP.TXT), so more then one message/reply can be written at a time? 

That was another reason I did multiple EXEs: MSGTMP1.TXT, MSGTMP2.TXT

Since I used the same B&W color scheme on all of them, I didn't need 
to change the _BWCOLOR.CFG in the EXE.
