I have that set for that. MEANWHILE, I learned that the problem        is that Apoint does not automatically toss (as you had discovered too!)              But when I relaunched Apoint at a later time, the message area would        magically populate.              If I don't want to exit the program, the fix is to force a toss with one        of the controls in the top menu.                     AA>> I've disabled auto-deleting the packets.              MF> I've looked and looked and looked but I can't find that setting, where       MF> is it?              OK, I *thought* I did that, because I noticed there were untossed packets        in the inbound. Turns out that this was because Apoint does not        automatically toss anyway. Now after repeated use, there are no more        packets retained. I'm not sure *what* setting made me think I was able        to save packets - sorry.                     AA>> I copy them over for OpenXP, but I can't seem to re-use them       AA>> there.              MF> In what way can't you re-use them?              I would just copy the .pkt files over to the oxp inbound dir and let oxp        toss them. But that didn't seem to work.                      ../|ug              ---        * Origin: /|ug's Point, ONT, CANADA (2:221/1.58)       SEEN-BY: 15/2 123/1970 154/10 203/0 221/1 6 360 226/17 229/107 354       SEEN-BY: 229/426 1014 240/5832 249/206 317 400 280/464 5003 292/854       SEEN-BY: 310/31 317/3 322/757 342/200 393/68 396/45 423/120 712/848       SEEN-BY: 770/1 2452/250       PATH: 221/1 280/464 229/426           |
