Hello Bruce, ' tis a nice day today. 

 BC> At the DOS command, you are IN the BW folder, where it can find all 
 BC> of its' parts. 
 BC> If you "Windows 2-click on its .exe file" then you are starting it 
 BC> from a different folder. 

 That shortcut was made of the BWAVE.EXE loading folder/file. I can not
 see why it would load a crippled BW. But I must confess that I do see
 it as crippled when doing this and working fine if I get right to the
 .exe file.

 Now here is another question. Where can I set the BW to remember the
 attributes for the mail? You know the top right-hand ones that say:
 Read-Saved-Printed-Deleted. If I come back to a packet, they are all
 unset as if never read ? I get the F1 Help file fine now but I have not
 found the instructions as yet nor in the Setup screens either.

 It is now due time that I say thanks to you for helping me this much. I
 might have mentioned a meek "thankyou" before, now is a whole
 heartfelt one.  THANKS Bruce !
