   OK.  What do I look for in there?  Here's a recent sample:

   AA>> So.. the given "copy..." option for the download field is the right

   MF> I'm still a bit baffled about this one but suffice to say that if it's

   I have this:   
      
   Upload packer:      
   Download packer: copy $DOWNFILE $PUFFER   
      
   All the other dropdown options for the "Download packer" referenced     
   archivers, so I avoided those.  "copy.." was the only other choice so as     
   to avoid the screetching banshee.   
      
   What is the baffling part?   
      
   Meanwhile.. I noticed in LOG/ERRORS.LOG:

   I saw this last one following a NODELIST delivery today.   
      
      
   AA>>>> This program is quite a "puzzle" to keep the brain active.

   Gotta give you marks for perseverance.
