   RW> Hello Bill,   
   RW>    
   RW> A few more specifics might help us help you.   
      
   Well, here's an outline of what I want it to do. Maybe that'll help:   
      
   1.	check the inbound directory (fido\in) to see if there is any    
   mail/files   
   2.	if not, check the outbound directory (fido\out) to see if there    
   are any outgoing mail/files   
   3.	if there is nothing, just quit   
   4.	if there are, check to see if one of them is the nodediff   
   5.	if so, copy it to the nodelist directory and process it   
   6.	if any other kind of mail or files then process them   
   7.	end   
      
   I'm using IREX as the mail retriever, FastEcho as the mail tosser, and    
   AllFix as the tic processor.    
      
   The batch file I have now runs every 10 minutes and does everything    
   o.k. if I copy the nodediff manually. But it builds up a bunch of large log    
   files, and they are eating up valuable HD space.    
      
   Not being a programmer, I’m sure there is an easier/quicker way to do    
   all this. The batch file I have now runs the rabbit all over the county,    
   and I’m sure there is a more direct route.   
      
   Thanks
