 Hi Nancy & Jim

 To reset the qwk packet settings, I did as Nancy and Dale suggested 
 and logged on by telnetting. A lot more control that way than available
 in HTML.    
 
 NB> Go into (Y)our Settings, (O)ffline Settings (or config?), then (7) is
 NB> the conference size and (8) is the packet size.
 
 Yep, just like that, after you find the right place to look for that.

 JW> There is no (Y)our Settings on the HTML version, just QWK settings
 JW> which doesn;'t allow changing the packet suze. and i haven't had a
 JW> telnet client for many years now so I can't get in that other way.
 
 Jim if your using Windows, it comes with Hyper-something that opens up
 when you ask for the telnet from the HTML menu.  You have to log back 
 in, but after that you are back in the days of DOS BBSing.
   
 JW> That's OK. I only get behind about once a year when I'm on vacation
 JW> and I don't mind downloading 5-7 packets in a session.
 
 I rest it two 600 messages. In the old days that would have been 
 inadequate, but it seems OK today.
 
 NB> Does Doc's rename them QW1, QW2, etc?  A lot don't, and you have to
 NB> rename them yourself
 
 He sends you a docs.zip named packet.  You have to rename it yourself.
 
 Here is a batch file I run from the command line after downloading
 a packet to "my downloads" folder using windows.  To follow you need 
 to know that I placed all the DOS stuff I used to run in a folder now
 called C:\ZZ\ and edited it there.  I added a path to that folder from
 my autoexec.bat in windows start up.  
  
-----------------  MAIL.BAT  ------------------ 
@ECHO OFF
CD\ZZ\WEB
rem  This is where my online DOS spellchecker resides.

EDT
rem Loads it into upper DOS memory.

CLS
IF EXIST C:\ZZ\UP\*.REP DEL C:\ZZ\UP\*.rep
rem C:\ZZ\UP is where the Blue wave is compfortable.

CD C:\my downloads
IF EXIST DOCS.REP DEL DOCS.REP
rem Remove any left in reply packets.

IF EXIST DOCSQW~1.ZIP REN DOCSQW~1.ZIP DOCS.QWK
rem this is where the DOCS.QWK packet is named.

IF EXIST DOCS.QWK MOVE DOCS.QWK C:\ZZ\DN > NUL
rem This places it int a folder for the Blue wave 8 by 3 dos naming 
rem convention to find.  (my downloads doesn't work)

CD\ZZ\BWAVE
BWAVE
rem start blue wave

CD C:\my downloads
IF ExIST C:\ZZ\UP\*.rep copy C:\ZZ\UP\*.rep
rem Put the reply where the windows uploaderis pointed

IF ExIST C:\ZZ\UP\*.rep del C:\ZZ\UP\*.rep
rem clean up the other folder so Bluewave doesn't compain.
------------------- END MAIL.BAT ----------------

 *Note that you cannot change directories from withing blue wave 
 to drives other than C:\ and you must use dos legal 8 by 3 filenames.  
 When the batch file finishes, all you need do is to upload 
 the replies to DOCs using windows.
