I hadn't investigated the "C" key, MARK or HOLD functions in SEMPOINT, thanks 
again.

DOCS.REP is used by SLMR also to make the outgoing packet, that's probably the 
only .REP name Doc's Place BBS would reconize(sp?) anyway, You know how BBS's 
are? ;-)

Its still not in my "Comfortable Zone" yet.

But I guess when a fellow has been using the same software to read QWK's 15 
years it would take a while to adjust to a "database" method of reading QWK's, 
at least that's MY EXCUSE!     ;-)
