Hello Al!

Thank you for your reply!

First after posting I realized that the actual problem in this case was not "File"/"Lfile" but rather "Replaces" and the handling of that one... :-D

Sounds like it has a good strategy for the downlinks!

 Al> I suppose it's not really an issue, I just prefer file names that don't
 Al> SHOUT at me.. :)

Yes, although they thid [look like that] in the past. :-D

I've found myself reverting to FILES.BBS and the like in my local Mystic BBS configs here... =)

Yep -- always worth a try!

Best regards
