I had a look at my setup (first time for a year or so), and found that EVERYTHING was written in full! I tried to enter the macros in the form listed in the on-line help, but haven't yet found a way to get the '[' and ']' to be entered in the field on the FESETUP->SYSTEM->PATHNAMES screen. I have also tried the ALT-??? trick as well, along with a number of other potential varients on the theme gleaned from the docs/setups of other programs. PQ> Does yours accept brackets?

I can report mine doesn't, I do run Intermail 2.29g (FD compatible) and EleBBS in a DOS 6.22 environment with a characterset codepage of 437. I'm looking forward to hearing the definitive answer to this question, and trying any suggestions. Using environment variables can help reduce the logistics of moving things around, which happens occasionally when resources change. Take care...
