I do that, I think. 

I exit binkley through a normal event to the main batch file, which calls a 
routine to do the internet connection.

Haven't seen you in the genealogy echoes for a while.

c:
cd \bt

if exist BBSBATCH.CMD del BBSBATCH.CMD

BT32 unattended
If ErrorLevel 255 goto Top
If Errorlevel 125 goto Irex     ; Run Internet Rex for tunnelled mail

<stuff deleted>

:Irex
c:
cd \utils
call injoy.cmd
d:
cd \belfry
call tossftp.bat
c:
cd \bt

goto Top

The above is from my main BINKLEY.CMD file.
 
REM *** Run Injoy to connect to ISP
c:
cd \injoy
in-joy Global
 

Keep well
