Hi Allen,
*******************************************************************
Here is how my configuration is inside OLX using ALT-O then D for
Directories:    QWK / IN Directory : C:\QMPRO\DOWNLOAD <---no backslash
                QWK / OUT Directory: C:\QMPRO\UPLOAD   <---"      "
********************************************************************
Now start QMPRO and from terminal access the menu ALT-Z, then C for
Config, then F for files, P for definitions/preferences and make sure it
is these listings.
                 QWK / IN= C:\QMPRO\DOWNLOAD\ <-----backslash
                 REP / OUT=C:\QMPRO\UPLOAD\   < ----     "
this is the way I have mine configured and have no problems at all

Packard Bell 486SX computer. She is using Qmodem 4.6TD. When she dials
in to a BBS, the phone directory refuses to leave the screen when a
connect is made. The BBS menus pass by at the bottom of the directory
screen. I have tried every change in setting I can think of to delete
this problem, but it will not go away.
Her modem setup string is correct, and RPI is enabled in Qmodem.
Has anyone encountered this problem and successfully corrected it. I
sure need a cure if there is one (other than a different modem.)
Thanks for any help.

   Dave, QmodemPro 1.53 for DOS has OLX with it.
   They also make a Qmodem Pro for Windows but have not used it but
would think it would come with OLX.
   I have used Qmodem 4.60 TD, Qmodem 5.01 and now QmodemPro 1.53 and
find all of them very good programs.  Mustang was/is/could be still
selling Qmodem 5.01 for $20.00 shipped and it came with OLX, the olx is
a crippled version but does do most of what a person wants. It will not
let ;you attach files but it is a very good off line reader and you get
both for 20.00.
   Mustangs order line is 1-800-999-9619 and they can fill  you in on
about anything you would want to know.
   Hope this helps

assistant: Bill,
      I first got Qmodem Pro for Windows 1.1,  I had trouble with my
   scripts.  I found out that QM PRO for Win v.1.1, couldn't send the
   letter "o" , (for Offline Maid Reader), in a script.  I sent it back
   to MSI and got QM PRO 1.52, about 3 years ago, upgreaded it to v.1.53
   about 14 years later.
      MSI fix the Script Language, in QM Pro v.1.11 for Windows.�
      I have been using Scripts, to send my ".QWK" packets to my mail
   directories, (other than my download directory).  A script is the
   only way I can do this.
      I got Win95 v.2, on the last day that I could get it for $50.00.
   I installed it, and started to rewrite my scripts for Win95.  I found
   out that I could ONLY send my "QWK" packets to my download directory.
      I was not happy with this, so I went back to the DOS version.  The
   Script Language is a lot easer and I can do more with it. And I don't
   have to recompile it after ever change I make to it.
      As for as Windows Communications goes, QM Pro for Win95 is better
   by for.
      Maybe it is that I'm just not a Windows person.  And if you are,
   and don't use scripts a lot.  Give it a try.
      I hope this will help you.  If you do install it, let me know how
   you like it.
                                    Later...

     The phone book entry was there with the F symbol and the check
     mark telling me it was ready to fax.  Sent the fax and everything
     was received fine.  The next day I was to send a new report.
     So I deleted my previous days report in my outbox.  I also
     deleted my phone book entry.  I did my report exactly like I
     did the first day but the radio station received the first days
     fax again!  Where did it come from?  I checked all the files and
     there was no first day report.  There was no report in my outbox
     before I typed the new one.  Any ideas?  Thanks.
