    HG> YES it was, you're correct and the same error is on the top line of

   VERY GOOD!

   HMMM, did some of the FOG in Ed's Head [TM] excape and traveled through the   
   Ether to Your part of the world.   
   NAH!, it couldn't do that, or could it.

    HG> There's another variable, @MSGDATE@ that I also use in that string, and

   OUCH!!!!!   
      
    HG> Now, there's no day-of-week to pick from the QWK-packet so the program   
    HG> picks that weekday from the system instead.   
      
   And No Reason for Ed to originate another message about observing what

   I was proud to see that I (FINALLY) got MM to type that line for Me.   
   You know how lazy a LID can be.   
      
   I will have to look in MM's DOC's to see what they say about those @DAY@   
   and @MSGDATE@ Variables.   Another ROUNDTUIT................   
      
   But I do like learning, and am glad that I still can.   
      
   The pass three weeks I've tried to help a neighbor get His DELL Precision   
   M20 XP notebook to let Him use Wi-Fi on it.   
      
   And I knew nothing about how Wi-Fi worked on His pc, and still don't know   
   much after finally stumbling on what it takes to get the Wi-Fi LED to   
   light up on His notebook.   
      
   When I got a new Epson All-In-One a few years ago, the first thing I did   
   to IT was turn the Wi-Fi Setting OFF on it, since I have Cables connected   
   to everything I use with My computer stuff.   
      
   He let me take it home with me and when I took the notebook back to Him,   
   He told me that He decided to buy a Nextbook Tablet and put the DELL in a   
   closet.   
      
   That is what "Head Scratching" I've been doing while You've been Solving   
   the Problem I started about Your BBS message DOW (Day-Of-Week).
