Why not use the "learn" feature of Qmodem" to write the basic script
for you? Except for someone who logged on to that same BBS, or one
with an identical menu structure, it would be a near impossibility to
create a script for you from out here.

Tip:
  If the BBS has a HOT KEY on, and you use the QIUCKLEARN in Qmodem Pro.
  Turn off the Hot Key. Because the only time a line is writen into the

    The problem sounds like its on the BBS's end.  Check the OLX or

Write your reply.

assistant: Pat, are you sure that the attachment isn't downloaded with the
message???  To check do this....once you've downloaded your packet
go into OLX.  Open the packet and look at the top of the page
and click on attachments.  It should list the attached files
and from what conference it's from.
If in fact it is there, you have to copy the attachment
to a directory of your choice.  Just hit <C> for copy and a default
path will pop up to copy it to.
If the attached file is not there, check with your sysop.  May be on
his end.
Cheers.
