//Hello All,//


OK, I have found the way to use the % stuff.

Now, how do I extract the file names from Files?

How do I send a message to result in my getting the message.

I thank you in advance for the help.

It would be great if someone would walk me through this.

Regards,

I've used WinPoint in the past, and found it pretty good. But I
was using the pre-415.0 variety.

Those are the commands to ALLFIX. such as%LIST.

OK, I have a text file or message and how to I take the file name in the message and have it appear on my computer?

I haven't the slightest idea how to get past that stage.That is getting from a message from the echo to downloading a file within.

I am sure it has to be easy because so many people are doing it.

If the file arrived in a file area along with a .tic in your inbound you can use a file processor (like allfix or similar) to put the file in a file area.

If you do a file request to another node via your mailer the file (if found) will be in your inbound and you will have to import it into your filebase manually if you want it in your filebase.

I read that you "figured it out". So.. you're all set now?
