With binkD it's _not_ an "all or nothing" thing to process incoming.  You don't 
need a "flag" declaration and an "exec"; it's either or.  One or t'other.  A 
flag setting requires an external job to be running 24/7, looking for flag(s).  
An exec line runs a job directly.  Pick one.  Too easy.

Bill uses flags.  I like to use exec, like so...

 exec "/opt/ftn/fido/bin/tossmail.sh" *.su? *.mo? *.tu? *.we? *.th? *.fr? *.sa? 
*.pkt

If nothing works for you then maybe you may either have a permissions problem 
or a paths problem.

Cheers,
Paul.

.... For a good time call 86753099 (Jenny)...
