   I think either when you connect or when there is a new message(s), Synchronet   
   creates the QWK packet and puts it in that location automatically. I'm not   
   sure on exactly how it works, but it's there every time I grab it, and it's an   
   updated packet each time.   
      
   Rob would have to explain that better, but I'll just call it 'magic'. :)

   Of course!
