Supposedly, if I read the BWREPFIX.DOC correctly, it will remove the 
the preceeding number in "To: 1Name" when you bundle the message.  

I had the same problem with my 2.30 (DOS), but it turned out that 
I didn't have the proper "path" to the batch file entered in the 
BlueWave config area. 
(Has it been over 4 years since I used that program?)

When you entered the "path" in the BlueWave config area, did you make 
sure to "Quit" and Save it to disk?

 JP> You can tell my level of expertise in this.

That sounds like a Windows mouse clicking thing. 
If it was Win3.11, I might suggest something, but the later versions work 
differently. 
I don't use a mouse in BlueWave, or almost any DOS program for that matter.
