DM> What you're describing sounds like expected (as designed) behavior for a DM> user that has DM> "[F] Automatic New File Scan : On" DM> set in their default configuration. DM> Maybe double-check that setting for your user account? Yes, it was on, and I left it on, just had never seen this before. All I remember seeing before when you do a "T" to go to the file menu, it checked for new files then, and I can see that in the default.src, but I didn't seen anything in the new message scan in the default.src that would cause that under "N", as it shows "msg_new_scan". Anyway, since you say it's like expected (as designed) behavior, lets close the issue. As always, thank for the help, and putting up with me :). SysOp: C.G.
