 FJ> 1.) QmodemPro phonebook entry (PACKET) field, you need to let it

It often isn't.  It's a xxxx.DD# or xxxx.NEW packet.
 DH>My reasons are this:  I use BlueWave 2.20, and on many boards, I do
 DH>not use the QWK packet system, which is the only QMPro recognizes.
 FJ> 3.) You need config Qmodem Pro paths, so that it knows where to look
 FJ> for the xxxx.QWK and xxxx.REP packets.
 
But those aren't the packet extension names!  (Well, not always).
 DH>As you can guess, I would like to set up scripts for all the BBS's I

 FJ> Darrin, I hope this will help you out.
I am already aware of the example you provided.
 FJ> If call The French Quarter BBS & leave a message for me. I will
 FJ> verify you.
I don't think I can afford to call long-distance on a regular basis,
but thank you for offering.
 FJ> Fred Johnson
Thank you very much for your attempt to assist me.  I appreciate the
response!  I am, however, still stuck with the same problem.
