   Which program is looking for the flags? (AKA semaphore files) Not knowing your   
   knowlege, I won't assume anything. So forgive me if you already know this:   
      
   Flag files are created so another program knows to go to work. The "flag"   
   option causes binkd simply to create the file, usually a zero byte file.   
      
      
    RS> exec "c:\\ftn\\toss.cmd" c:\\ftn\\inb\\*.[mwtfs][oehrau][0-9a-zA-Z]   
      
   This line should run the toss.cmd file with the commands you have listed below.
