G'morning James,

Yup - just make sure that the first line of your reply says...

To: <sender's bbs number>

The netmail you'd be replying to will have a first line that 
says...

From: <sender's bbs number>

..... so just change the `From' into a `To'.

If you're starting a fresh netmail message,  you need to know your 
receiver's name and bbs or point number.

As to unpacking QWK'd,  here's my successful file... it may be 
worth trying on your rig....
