Hello Dale,

On <Thu, 22 Feb 01>, you wrote me:

 DR> Can we get a look at your batch files?

Here is a typical one:

@echo off
@rem batch file for use with timEd message editor
d:
cd d:\binkley
timed
if errorlevel 5 goto end
if errorlevel 3 goto export
if errorlevel 2 goto export
if errorlevel 1 goto pack
if errorlevel 0 goto end
 
:export
  d:
  cd d:\binkley
  sq386 out squash -fd:\fidomail\msg\areas.lst 
  goto end

:pack
  d:
  cd d:\binkley
  sq386 squash
  goto end

:end
  del d:\fidomail\msg\areas.lst
  cd\
  exit

I hope that is helpful.  It worked under Windows 3.1, 95, 98 and 98SE.   It 
stopped working under 2000. :-(

Take care,
