From TERMINATE I Logged On went to the Adept Message_Base to the OS2BBS echo, Read your msg, Pressed R - Reply, N - No Quote. Then TERMINATE took over with PgUp, which displays the various U/L protocols. I selected ASCII U/L, Send/View, which displays TERMINATE's FileManager. I selected the text file that I saved previously, which contained the bulk of my reply msg, which immediately displayed in Adept's Message_Base. Then I continued to type a PS.

Ever DP> since I switched to an OS/2 BBS, I can't seem to run DOS door games. Go into LORDCFG and set up the nodes to open a specific com port instead of reading the port from the drop file. You'll also have to edit the drop files to write specific com ports for each task.
