Hello Bruce, ' tis a nice day today. 

 For a lurker, you do not miss much !

 BC> Automatic packet rename        Yes
 BC> Option menu at packet close    No
 BC> +-- Auto save pkt bookmarks    Yes

 BC> I think your setup has that last line set to "No". 

 Nope. I first started toggling these lines when you mentioned them to
 me. Funny how the "Option menu..." will allow/prevent the bottom line to
 work. I had them set both ways and still the bookmarks are not saved.

 By the way, I have the rename set to NO.

 Yesterday, I D/Led a .zip of BW/386, ran it and lo&behold, it saves the
 bookmarks. I was quite surprised. Are you ?

 It also presented a further small problem. The nag will not go away
 even if I enter my provided numbers.  (jparrot427{at}aol.com) But it does
 save the bookmarks.  Go search.

 BC> "Pack replies at reader exit" is set to "No" so
they "Pack" at 
 BC> Packet exit. 

 I only use one BBS, Doc's, so this is not a problem.

 BC> As before, do an "F1" on each line to get a detailed explanation. 

 This is very nice as compared to the 2.12 version. The F1 gives the
 relevant help as per the present screen. Nice .

 BC> How are you EXITing from BlueWave ? 
 BC> If you are using Alt-X, switch to the Esc key.

 I use the Esc key, Bruce. But the menu offers the prompt to Quit with a
 . Hum ! maybe the Esc is a DOS thing. I take it back, I do not use
 the Esc key.

 BC> Is your ZIP compression done by ZIP.EXE or PKZIP.EXE ? 
 BC> Archivers
 BC> ZIP Compression   C:\BWAVE\BWPACK.BAT {at}F {at}I

 This is what I have as advised by you when I first got on 2.30. It
 packs them good and does away with the Y2K BW problem as I can see
 looking at my .rep  as posted on the BBS and as you can see too. Date
 is fine and no digit in front of the To: Name. I copied over to the
 /386 all these settings. All is fine save for the nag.

 Thanks again for your patience.
