Crashmail (netmail), in general works fine. I meant that        AA> I can't seem to direct a FREQ (nnnnnnnn.REQ) to a specific system. The        AA> controls in German confuse me, I guess.              WinPoint doesn't support that feature but it can be tricked into        thinking that it does :-))              The trick is ugly, it's not elegant and it must rank as the most        convoluted process ever but it does work.              Here we go .....              You need to find a message from the person to whom you wish to request        a file(s) from. If you can't find one, well, ummmmm, that's the end of        it and there's no need to go any further. Assuming that you've found        one, proceed as follows .....              - Right-click anywhere on the message in the viewer and click "Request         files from Message". This takes you into the request editor.              - Double-clicking on any line of text will place that line of text in         the "Request" window down near the bottom of the screen.              - Clear the line of text in the "Request" window by right-clicking on         the line of text and then click "Zeile loschen"(Delete line). You         may have to do that twice to clear the line of text.              - Click in the "Neuer Dateiname" field and enter the filename you wish         to request.              - Click the "Hinzufugen" button and the filename should move into the         window above(that's the one where the line of text was).              - Click the "Speichern" button.              - Click the "OK" button.              - Close the request editor.              - Now look in the outbound window and your request should be sitting         in the outbound queue.              - Double-click the .req file and the "Poll Node" window should pop up.              - Check all the details and if you're happy with them, click the "Ok"         button, otherwise, click the "Abbruch(Abort)" button.              Have fun :-))              Regards,       Martin              --- OpenXP 5.0.38        * Origin: Bitz-Box - Bradford - UK (2:250/1.1)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/0 2 19/36 34/999 90/1 104/57 106/201 116/18 123/140       SEEN-BY: 153/7715 154/10 203/0 218/700 221/0 222/2 226/17 229/354       SEEN-BY: 229/426 1014 230/150 152 240/1120 5832 249/206 317 400 250/1       SEEN-BY: 261/38 100 1466 266/512 267/155 275/100 280/464 5003 282/1031       SEEN-BY: 282/1056 291/1 111 292/854 310/31 317/3 320/119 219 322/757       SEEN-BY: 340/400 342/13 200 393/68 396/45 423/120 633/280 712/620       SEEN-BY: 712/848 886 770/1 801/161 189 2452/250 3634/12 5020/1042       PATH: 250/1 261/38 712/848 280/464 229/426           |
