   Yep, same thing happened with me after deleting a bunch of messages.     
   Here's what I now see when I look in my "msgbase" directory .....

   I've seen enough with the huge .jhr file, thanks.

   Further to what Alan said in another post .....   
      
   If you still have Fido Package Deluxe installed, all the husky stuff     
   is in there. There's everything you want(and more) in \Binkley\hpt     
   including an already configured and working hpt config file. Just copy     
   it all over to your SemPoint setup and then change the paths in the     
   hpt config file accordingly. There may be other bits 'n bobs that need     
   editing too.   
      
   Regards,   
   Martin
