   Oh..  OK.  I *do* have /NODEDIFZ and /NODELISZ in the oxp "areas menu" on     
   the main screen.   I just don't have them as physical directories under     
   /FILES.   
      
   Here are the last known entries in each that I can look at:

   And, I have nothing listed in the /FIDO/FILES/Z2PNT area.

   I "assumed" that I had message base corruption.  According to the built-in     
   helps, it said that I could delete the *.DB1 files and OXP would rebuild     
   the indexes.  But I never manipulated and of the MPUFFER.nn files except     
   with the usual Re-Org. or Pack.

    MF>Looking forward to the next thrilling installment :-)   
      
   Maybe I should just delete both of the /FIDO/FILES entries above (or just     
   the /NODELISZ since that is the one that was not processing before), and     
   do a Re-org and then Pack, and then enable TIC, to get on with this?
