   Pshaw. I'm a sysop, I don't read docs! ;)

   Looks like in your case you don't change things to lowercase on your Linux   
   machine. I'd rather do that, hence the -L parameter. Also, -qq on Linux runs   
   even quieter than just -q.

   Zip is all I need. The other two are completely pointless for mail these days.   
   I'm not even going to use ZIP unless someone actually wants to change their   
   default setting of NONE.   
      
   That said, in both the Area manager and Node manager, it's not looking like my   
   F-keys are working. Is there something I'm missing here?   
      
   Regards,   
   Nick
