 JS> Welcome to Fidonet Lee!

Thanks Jeff. It's been a steep learning curve, but I'm getting there slowly.

Brilliant, just what I needed; all bases now appear to import correctly.

TBH Jeff, I was more concerned about doing something wrong than actually
getting the files onto my system; most SysOps do a great job of serving
files to their users, so I'm quite happy to use their systems to
cherry-pick the odd file i might need.

Needless to say, your help has been very much appreciated.
