Hi Paul,

You'll get over it. ;)

That's about creating a filerequest message, not about handling it...

Ok it could be done, maybe in the pack function, or maybe in a seperate 
function. It doesn't seem all that hard... But it was never implemented by the 
original author, and never came up before in the 10 years I'm involved with the 
source code. I could put it on "the list", but it wouldn't be a high priority 
item...

Bye, Wilfred.
