The only problem is having it upload the files I select. I can't get that to work without editing HSLINK.BAT to enter the filenames every single time I upload. (What a pain?) How do you get HSLINK to detect the filenames inside the QMODEM.BEW file that QModem TD creates? --- Renegade v10-05 Exp * Origin: Gotham City BBS - USR Dual Standard (818) 884-2160 (1:102/807) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 248 QMODEM USER Ref: CAS00003 Date: 06/21/95 From: JAMIE RODGERS Time: 10:54pm \/To: DAVID SISSON (Read 6 times) Subj: QMODEM TD + HSLINK = HELP! Thanks for your info a while back! Using your idea, I was able to get HSLINK to work with QMODEM TD using a function key, however I can't figure out how to get HSLINK to use the files I select during uploads. How do you point HSLINK to the files in QMODEM.BEW?
